Welcome to a morning of silly hype about UK trade policy. Part one, "a serious setback in US-UK relations" as "£31bn tech ‘prosperity deal’ with Britain on ice"?

Invented number, good thing if the UK pushes back on US regulatory asks. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

Not to go all politics (unlike me, I know) but a reason McLaren is loved in Woking is that it takes on people sans degrees with technical skills and offers them a brilliant future. Those kids won this for Lando. And it makes you very happy to be from there.

Infantino said this isn’t “a normal draw”

That was at least thing said on stage that was true

There were moments that approached propaganda, especially in the highly politicised interpretations to justify Trump’s Peace Prize - a debasing of football

✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

Nice graph but the boob expansion guy said this budget was bad for the 99% so who should I believe?
Overall, the combination of tax rises and giveaways since last year’s Budget is progressive.

Incomes for households in the bottom half of the distribution have increased by 1.0 per cent and incomes for households in the top half fell by 0.7 per cent.

A long thread of really useful background on where RFJ Jr. and MAHA came from. Follow it down past the Debby Boone part; there's a lot to take in. But it matches many of my own experiences and reading in these areas:
Thinking back to November 2023 when Soledad O'Brien and Rob Reiner devoted their time and clout to this credulous conspiracy podcast about the JFK assassination. Feeding the anti-government conspiracy theory mill when there were 12 months to go before a crucial election was, IMO, a bad choice.
