So far, American firms have absorbed most of the tariffs’ cost. Fat profit margins and inventories imported before the levies took effect have made a difference. But as these buffers diminish, prices will rise
Why Donald Trump’s tariffs are failing to break global trade
Six months on from “Liberation Day”, things look surprisingly rosy

For one thing, the economist and historian writes better than almost any of his wonky peers, producing books that even a layman might be tempted to pull from the shelf econ.st/4n6OrVt

I'm sure BBC investigative documentary strand Panorama is even now working on an incisive exposé of Reform's financial links to Russia and it's just that they haven't announced it publicly yet

Steve Witkoff: “I would like to acknowledge the vital role of the United Kingdom in assisting and coordinating efforts that have led us to this historic day in Israel. In particular, I want to recognize the incredible input and tireless efforts of National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell.” 1/

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

New post just out:

The relationship between Russia and the European radical right goes well beyond Reform's Nathan Gill being bribed.

In this post I trace the history back to the 1990s and look at the threat it poses now.

Nigel Farage says something needs to be done about about Second Homes to stop them from destroying tourist villages.

It's another lie, because Farage has a Second, Third and even Fourth Home.

And he will never tax himself.

Always find it odd when people say exceptional is a good thing - it just means it is not the norm. On the contrary it could mean Trumps health is very poor.

You might have heard of 'dark kitchens' when a row of sheds in a car park churn out food for Deliveroo. They're unpopular and low margin. So the next big thing in London food is 'host kitchens' where local pubs, restaurants and kebab shops cook for big brands. www.londoncentric.media/p/host-kitch...
Why your next upmarket Deliveroo might be made by your local kebab shop

Academics and university staff being put on leave because of coordinated campaigns by right wing groups accusing them of criticising Charlie Kirk. I must admit I find the hypocrisy under the current US administration re free speech utterly outrageous.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”
