BBC Radio 4's Today just created a "surge of interest in everything" Japan, that's happening in Britain and needs reporting on apparently, including "people going skiing in Japan who normally go to France" 😆

Strangest part is how long it's taken for these calls to gather pace; surprised there weren't more after Elon Musk's incendiary posts during summer '24 anti-migrant riots
Multiple Labour MPs have called for online safety law to be beefed up to tackle hate speech
Some have also urged the government to come off X altogether
“Why would anybody want to lend legitimacy to a platform that’s primary purpose is to make money off the back of hate?” @sarahowen.org.uk said

Commendable but maybe no longer posting on his platform would be good start for Ed Davey...
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Big surprise? Trump's threatened tariffs on Russia clearly not coming tomorrow despite his artificial deadline set 10 days ago... & Moscow will likely continue to bomb Ukraine unrelentingly
Breaking News: President Trump said he planned to meet soon with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine in a bid for peace talks, said people familiar with the plan.
Trump Tells European Leaders He Intends to Meet With Putin and Zelensky
President Trump has been stymied for months in his efforts to find a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, after more than three years of war.

'To date, regulators have taken a heavy-handed approach' -- X on UK Online Safety Act.

The Trump Tax Cuts Led to Record-Low, Not High, Revenues Outside of a Recession
Federal revenues lag far behind pre-tax cut budget projections.

As usual, I think Brian is right about Brazil. Its economy isn’t very reliant on exports to the US, its judiciary operates quite independently of politics and Lula will be eager to stand up to a foreign bully. Brazil already trades more with China than with the US; tariffs deepen that relationship.

Quietly damning line from @thetimes.com : “Trump did not say in his post that the White House had demanded constraint, or that he had tried to dissuade Putin from taking action. There is no indication that Trump has spoken to his Ukrainian counterpart, President Zelensky.”
