Trump says he will cut off all trade entirely with "some nations" unless the Fed lowers interest rates

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Great news that the £36m donation by the crypto billionaire with a previous conviction has been matched by £36m from the crypto billionaire who is already the subject of an investigation by the Standards Commissioner. 😁

Reform has now taken tens of millions of pounds from crypto billionaires at exactly the same time as promising to legislate to slash taxes on crypto sales in half, potentially saving them hundreds of millions

Didn't expect a shoutout when I read this great FT Alphaville piece which takes a good look at open-weight models. In a nutshell, 1) locally run models see some real demand growth because they are a) good enough, b) cheaper, and c) don't come with IP security concerns (see OpenAI's mathematics news)

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

Police are facing growing questions over how up to 500 masked activists dressed in black brought parts of Dover to a standstill on Saturday. Authorities have been accused of failure to act, intelligence failures and being ‘caught on the hoof’. www.ft.com/content/f244...

Richard Tice gives a helpful demonstration of how he wants the army to march when Reform are in power.

I'm generally happy to give someone like Burnham a bit of time to get things in order but I'm already pretty impatient for an explanation why an octogenarian holding a small protest placard gets a criminal record but 200 people dressed as paramilitaries blockading Dover can just get the train home.

They spontaneously turned up all dressed in black, wearing masks at the same time.

Sure, seems totally fine for a bunch of masked men to stop traffic around a port

Whoever created this blank template, thank you.

I was expecting another hold my beer flyover

So if they'd called it Palestine Platform and all worn black balaclavas would that have been fine?

Farage’s stupidest comment to date: “They got a couple of our contractors to say things that perhaps should not have been said. They have been removed this morning”. Contractors. That would be his long-serving aide and the person who devises Reform policy, very senior people. No way out.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

I think it’s under-appreciated how much there might be a first mover advantage for the UK in going for a broad based tax rise at this budget. In a world of shaky public finances, going first makes your debt more attractive.

Nigel Farage is very lucky that he didn't know what was being discussed at the lunch where he was discussing it

What really struck me watching Channel 4 investigation into Reform is that the wilful breaking of electoral law isn’t an accident - it’s by design At every turn it’s Reform - Orr, Dan Jukes - saying how to break the law Exactly why I’ve been banging on about weak election law for so long

Just keep muttering to myself "he was still trying to solicit another donation during the by election he held to avoid the investigation."
