Trump could lose the power to impose Tariffs unilaterally within the next week.
This may be Trump's last chance to use tariffs as a power play, as there is a strong chance the Supreme Court will give Congress some control their levels and implementation.

Why, you might ask, as a housing lawyer have I not commented on the Green Party's new policy to end the private rented sector? Simple answer - it is mad. I'm all in favour of largely ending the PRS, but their policy is simply, practically, mad. Bring back an owl for everybody and then we are talking
