I worry that Trump’s latest partial climbdowns, pathetic & insincere as they are, will bolster Downing Street’s arguments for keeping him sweet when it’s surely time to go full Mark Carney.

The minds that cheered at a lynching still exists .
The minds that stripped and murdered the inmates at Auschwitz still exist. The minds that beat gay men to death and hanged women as witches still exist.
We hoped we’d moved on, changed , but it is increasingly clear this was a liberal delusion.

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.
He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

Another woman killed by the Texas GOP. Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line. At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

It’s too late. America is already not on side re Ukraine.
Europe’s simplest response to Donald Trump’s tariff threat is trade retaliation. But it will hesitate on this because of a desire to keep America on side when it comes to Ukraine
