‘Don’t pay any attention to what Trump says about medicine’, Wes Streeting tells Britons – UK politics live
Medical experts concerned alarms after US president warned pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol in move contradicted by research
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, has urged pregnant women to ignore Donald Trump’s claims about a link between taking paracetamol and autism.
Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Streeting said:
I trust doctors over President Trump, frankly, on this.
I’ve just got to be really clear about this: there is no evidence to link the use of paracetamol by pregnant women to autism in their children. None.
In fact, a major study was done back in 2024 in Sweden, involving 2.4 million children, and it did not uphold those claims.
Between January and April 2020, Labour held a leadership contest. Evidence from that period suggests that the prime minister accepted potentially thousands of pounds’ worth of advice and polling via the members’ association Labour Together. A review of his register of members’ interests for that time reveals no record of these donations. The parliamentary rules are clear that “support in kind” from Labour Together should have been declared, but it was not.
In 2021, the Electoral Commission fined Labour Together for failing to report donations covering the period 2017 to 2020. New evidence has since come to light which raises questions as to whether this failure was deliberate, in an attempt to mislead the Electoral Commission. At the time, the prime minister’s now Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, was a director at Labour Together and responsible for legal compliance.
Neither Keir, nor his leadership campaign accepted monetary or in kind donations from Labour Together during the leadership election. Continue reading...

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Donald Trump lied about how he decided tariffs on the world for a simple reason
But the numbers don't add up, the calculations are not what they appear to be. Last night, he was straight up lying about how they came up with the numbers. Here's what they're really designed to do

“Trump has governed like a late-19th-century president, with his penchant for tariffs, his unusual relationship with a major industrial titan, and his bald-faced corruption,” writes Derek Thompson.
The Story of the Gilded Age Wasn’t Wealth. It Was Corruption.
Richard White, the historian and author of "The Republic for Which It Stands," explains what made the late 19th century gilded.
