Trump’s revenge agenda has shocked officials who ‘didn’t think it was going to be this bad’, insiders say.
Trump’s better-known adversaries were expecting payback, but more intense vengeance is being felt by civil servants.

The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump’s trade war with Camada and Mexico:
“Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in…”

Americans — especially those in red states — are about to learn a very painful lesson about how tariffs work. Despite Trump’s idiotic claims to the contrary, American consumers will soon pay higher prices because of Canada’s 25% retaliatory tariffs, in response to Trump’s tariffs.

For too long, renters have had limited rights and have lived in insecure and poor conditions.
Today I am voting for the Labour Government’s Renters' Rights Bill. This will empower renters, outlaw no-fault evictions and protect tenants from dangerous damp and mould.

"James Dyson owns 36,000 acres of agricultural land, estimated to be worth in excess of £550mn... Prior to Reeves’ new tax regulations there would have been no tax to pay if he had died and passed the land on to his successors."
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land
