The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States

Trump’s Oval Office mob show proves he’s no Don Corleone. He’s Luca Brasi—with nukes.

The UK Longitudinal Business Database allows any accredited researcher in the ONS Secure Research Service to track the near-universe of UK firms at quarterly frequency and to link them to other administrative and survey data sources.

I have written about it here.
