As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine.
There were no other consequences.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes. Designed to recreate slavery in all but name, this signified the South’s resistance to the freeing of their labor force and the lengths to which it would go to tie workers to a place under white control.

A key point from this interview: the "benefit" of tariffs, if it exists, is delayed. You don't flip a switch and get a plant tomorrow. You wait years. It also follows that a tariff you don’t trust to outlast a mood swing won’t change where companies build at all.

From Trump’s point of view: it’s not American taxpayer dollars, he views it as his dollars. Therefore, he’s buying investments for him.
