Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk?

The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

The Government is now deliberately conflating a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme with a return to freedom of movement to justify its position it would cross their Brexit red lines.

THATS JUST PLAIN WRONG

Our youth deserve better and UK News Shows need to start calling this out

🔥 This is an absolutely devastating set of figures on the UK public's view of Brexit.

Absolutely damning. Look at each category one by one - particularly the economic ones. YouGov article on these data here. 👉 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

55% of those polled now think that Brexit was a mistake, while just 30% think that it was the right thing to do.

18% of Leave voters now say that it was wrong for Britain to choose to leave the EU.

By contrast, just 7% of Remainers now think it was right for the UK to leave.
How do Britons feel about Brexit five years on?
