Yesterday I bought a cup of coffee for $3
I now have a $3 trade deficit with the coffee shop so I am imposing a 50% trade tariff on them.
Today my coffee cost me $4.50

At a time when international students and scholars are turning away from America, instead of seizing this opportunity, Number 10 have a steely focus on winning the Runcorn by-election to help defend their wafer-thin majority of 174 seats.
The UK government is proposing to finally finish off its universities by further tightening the terms of the graduate visa route. The stupid fools. Playing with dangers they don't even understand. www.ft.com/content/f441...

a leader that won't change policy when the world changes drastically is no leader, but simply someone clinging to power...
🚨🚨Unless you forgot, #brexit is still a complete & utter disaster for the UK with just a bottomless pit of misery and pain.
Lab position on EU customs arrangement is ludicrous since #brexit given the current economic context makes absolutely no-sense to maintain even for short-term political gains.

Asked whether Trump's trade war means the UK will now consider re-entering a customs union with the EU, Keir Starmer's spokesman replies that "we're not going backwards when it comes to Brexit"

Govt may be relieved that UK faces lower Trump tariffs than others but it’s a trap.
A deal with the unreliable lunatic means lowering standards, betraying our farmers and undermining trust and compatibility for any EU reset which is far more valuable to us. Let’s not fuck this up too.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.
He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.
TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

Despite backing the US in every major conflict this century—and offering to water down our tax on US tech billionaires—we’ve been rewarded with the same tariffs as Iran.
It’s like we’re meant to be grateful Trump gave our friends a black eye and left us with just a wedgie.
