Sorry, what now? You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes. Right so.

A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó gave Russia inside access to EU meetings by calling Lavrov during breaks and sharing real-time updates, WaPo reports.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

i think we can all agree that if this TSA nightmare was happening when a Democrat was president, the entire media ecosystem would explode with outrage at the sight of a Transportation Secty doing partisan media instead of anything remotely related to his day job.

Convicted sex traffickers likely to get instant pardons from Trump. The details of what they'll pay for them and how are still unclear.

Thompson's hematologist at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Robert A. Brodsky, published a study revealing that the research now has an overall 94% disease-free survival rate. "[A cure is now] available to the majority, almost the entirety, of sickle cell patients.” #GoodNews #BlackSky 🌱

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

Wow. A CAF appeals board have stripped Senegal of its Africa Cup of Nations final victory over Morocco and awarded Morocco a 3-0 win. This is incredible. Comes after Morocco, hugely influential in African football circles, appealed an original decision. www.cafonline.com/news/caf-app...

Pope Leo asked me to meet him in a private audience at the Vatican today I presented him with documents and evidence detailing decades of abuse inside Opus Dei and urged him to launch a full independent investigation into the group A THREAD 🧵

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Julia was very kind to share more detail on this/her thinking throughout the thread. Quantifying, this category is 0.86% of core PCE, so the shift from +11.9% -> +1.83% shaved 0.087% (1.05% at annual rates) off core PCE MoM. This kind of scrutiny is one reason that we can be confident...

An obscure methodological tweak -- a change in the source of data on the price of legal services -- resulted in meaningfully lower monthly PCE inflation in January. That's prompting questions about why the change was made and why it wasn't disclosed publicly. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b... #EconSky

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Despite what Trump said to Fox, the US has sent 10,000 interceptor drones developed in Ukraine to the Middle East, Bloomberg reports.

Whoa banks are lending their deposits; huge if true.

It’s interesting that two of the public figures who have stood up the most to Trump are central bankers.

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Our entire regulatory framework has proved to be no more than a painted balsa wood front. The AG here confirms it is illegal to generate CSAM. We also gave CnaM the power to act on any material which was not illegal, but was offensive. Turns out they don’t wanna. www.rte.ie/news/2026/01...

Very bad day for gilts. There's been a few this year. Nowhere near as bad as Truss era ofc, but I think that insane time has skewed our perception. For instance, a rise in 30yr yields such as happened today only happened once in 10 years pre-COVID. And not once during the 10 years to late 2008.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection. Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

The US Justice Department urged a New York state appeals court to reverse Donald Trump’s felony conviction, an extraordinary intervention by federal officials as the president seeks to clear his criminal record
