BREAKING: President Donald Trump warns the UK against getting into business with China, saying it would be "very dangerous."
He seems to have forgotten he has agreed to visit Beijing in April and invited Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit later next year

A president who threatens allies is not a partner, he is a risk. Tariffs batter supply chains, wages and investment, and Trump will aim them at any democracy that resists. Britain should deepen European cooperation, not bet on Washington’s mood swings.

If a Pakistani Muslim owned X, distributed indecent images of girls on a platform where govt do their PR, where some receive payments for posts, they would have distanced themselves by now. X would be shutdown and Braverman and Farage would be calling for a ban and investigation into Pakistani men.

Biology is so wild. It doesn't respect the rules we make up.
We all know children inherit genes from their parents. But it turns out mothers also inherit genes from their children!
And it can help them. (But it can also hurt them.)

Honestly the completely weird Budget coverage is mostly a sign of how pretty much any attack can stick when you’re unpopular enough.
Of course Rachel Reeves didn’t brief the full Cabinet on Budget details weeks in advance! No chancellor ever does! It would immediately leak!

i reiterate my case that the true alpha in any given group is the mum friend with spare pads and cheesy crackers and a mysterious number of packs of wet wipes
Whereas the top wolves are basically just acting like parents and making sure everybody’s got food and letting the cubs crawl all over them.
Honestly, the most wolf-like people around are mom friends and the dads who check your oil and sneak jumper cables into your trunk.
