Good morning Resisters!
Just a heads up that Trump has canceled release of:
1. GDP report
2. Inflation report
3. Jobs report
Why? Because Trump’s terrible policies are destroying the US economy.

UK trade policy has basically failed. Someone in government might perhaps want to ponder why this has happened (and the prime answer doesn't start with B and end with rexit - this is a policy failure dating back to 2016)

Incidentally the "China will need nothing from the west" piece assumes that its production of all goods and services will be superior to others as to never need anything, which is highly implausible. Because when it isn't, companies will want imports. Arrogance of nationalism.

Such a good piece. Labour can genuinely give themselves permission to go as far as the EU will let them if they are honest with the electorate about how bad the Brexit damage is. £90bn a year is impossible to get back without going big on either single market membership or massive tax rises.
