Grim first US GDP figures for Trump- contraction of 0.3%. That compares to annual rate of 2.4% from Q4.

Driven by a fall in govt spending and a 40% surge in imports, to get ahead of Trump tariffs. Could be a one off. But v bad optics for a president who promised growth.

"It amazes me that the very same people who fought tooth and nail to take us out of the European Union, a step which has been ruinous for the economy of this country, are still seeking to sever ties with our European neighbours."

Well said. 👏👏👏

Farage thinks we incited Putin to invade Ukraine but denies any role in creating the atmosphere that led to the nationalist riots.

I can’t think of anyone besides Trump who is more consistent in his malevolence and relentless distortion of reality.

No wonder they get on well.
