President Donald Trump said he will increase the global 10% tariff he announced one day ago to 15%, in reaction to the US Supreme Court’s ruling that his mechanism for applying tariffs was illegal.

Just a little reminder. That big saving in public spending of £30bn was generated by higher tax receipts including Capital Gains Tax. This is Rachel Reeves generating more revenue from those with the broadest shoulders. It’s why the rich are so anti our Labour Chancellor

Doomscrolling break... After 144 years, the final piece of Sagrada Familia central tower has been placed

Recent by council by-elections show Farage is losing steam and I have noticed he and Reform are being challenged more (although not enough) by some elements of our press. As Reform councils fail, as Reform plans are announced the public turns against him. writesbright.substack.com/p/farage-is-...

Tourism to the US has rightly fallen dramatically since Trump took over, these horrific accounts of dentation are a great reason not to go but my reason, similar to many others is the treatment of Americans by ICE and this administration. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“Farage…decided the complaint was not serious enough to warrant a rethink about Goodwin’s selection… [He]characterised the complaint as “just Matt being Matt” Hmm.

Three council by-elections yesterday and Reform did badly in all of them. Can we now please ignore the right wing polls that clearly are lying to us.

Chagos Islands deal was started under Tories & by International Law we have to give them back, there is no way around it Trump can throw his toys out the pram & attack Starmer over the deal just because he is blocked from using our RAF bases to strike Iran, but it doesn’t change facts

Great news as private firms exploit this gift from the Tories to the detriment of children and councils who have no choice but to pay the extortionate fees.

Already there is a battle of ego's between Jenrick and Farage, I sense stormy days ahead. Jenrick after over a decade in power with no answers, suddenly moves to Reform and seems to think he has them. Why don't I believe him?

Grim. One can only imagine what passes for ‘banter’ or ‘locker room talk’ when these ghouls converse in private.

What is misconduct in public office? Following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg explains what the term means

Considering Mountbatton-Windsor's arrest today, going ahead with visits from King Charles/Prince William to the US to meet individuals linked to Epstein seems to me lunacy. That does not even take into account the vile acts being carried out by Trumps administration. The visits must be stopped.

Now the rest of them. Not just the sex offenders, but all those named in the Epstein files who’ve used their power and influence to undermine our democracy and sell the country out. Investigate them all.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested, the first step to receiving justice for his crimes. The rest of the world takes action against those in the Epstein Files while America watches on and hides the evidence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Morning all. The main issue in the UK at present is not immigration, but the perception we're given of it. I am totally incredulous that anyone could vote for a party which would take our hard won NHS away from them, lower their wages & charge them more council tax, all for the sake of prejudice.

It looks like Starmer has realised the best way to attack Reform is their assault on women's rights. Really happy that Labour is dealing with the abuse of women on line, holding tech firms to account but why does it have to take 48 hrs, by then the damage is done. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
