My main ask to UN Security Council Members: let us work.

We could be saving millions of lives.

Let us do it.

It is quite incredible the extent to which Trump is routinely held to a lower standard than every other politician. This would pretty much end the career of any other national leadership candidate in any western democracy, except none would ever do it - at all, still less during a mourning period

Brexit was greatest act of economic self-harm as
U.K. sanctioned itself.

But our idiocy got Trumped with 🇺🇸 tariff rollercoaster.

Nationalist fantasies end in economic pain.

Time to choose: stability/security with Europe or race to bottom on Tump rollercoaster ride?

How Brexit, a Startling Act of Economic Self-Harm, Foreshadowed Trump’s Tariffs
Britain’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016 was sold to voters as a magic bullet that would revitalize the country’s economy. Its impact is still reverberating.

Have just turned on the TV and ex IEA chief Mark Littlewood - who now works for Liz Truss - is on the BBC talking about why Labour should revive Rwanda policy.

*Why* is Littlewood still given airtime?

Just 3 hours after arriving, Vance & his wife depart Greenland. And they never even left the military base.

For a country as hospitable as Greenland, it is a remarkable feat to be so loathed you can’t leave the airport.

Another staggering waste of taxpayer dollars.

Spectacular. Would like to visit.

But no need for illegal threats of annexation from the US government.
