Starmer warns Trump’s US tariffs not just ‘short-term tactical exercise’ – UK politics live
PM says measures mark ‘the beginning of a new era’ for trade and the global economy Internet safety campaigners have expressed alarm about reports that the Online Safety Act could be reviewed as part of the economic deal the UK is negotiating with the US. According to a Politico report, quoting unnamed sources who have been briefed on what is in the potential deal, it will include a commitment to a review of the Digital Markets and Competition Act and the Online Safety Act. We are dismayed and appalled by reports that the Online Safety Act could be watered down to facilitate a US trade deal. We have written to Jonathan Reynolds [business secretary] urging him not to continue with an appalling sell out of children’s safety and to meet with lived experience campaigners to understand the dire consequences. The Online Safety Act offers a foundation that we believe will vastly improve children’s experiences online. For too long, too many children and young people have been exposed to harmful content, groomed, harassed and bullied online. The Government must not roll back on their commitment to making the online world safer for them, now and in the future. Continue reading...

This is not America first; this is America alone. Continue reading...

Trump’s ‘idiotic’ and flawed tariff calculations stun economists
‘Willing sycophants’ came up with simplistic formula that has thrown global economy into disarray US politics live – latest updates UK politics live –latest updates Europe live – latest updates Waving a big chart as a prop in the White House Rose Garden, Donald Trump suggested his new tariff plan was simple: “Reciprocal – that means they do it to us, and we do it to them. Very simple. Can’t get simpler than that.” Perhaps a bit too simple. The method used to calculate the most important numbers in international trade, politics and economics has left some of the world’s leading experts shocked. Goods trade deficit: $291.9bn Total goods imports: $438.9bn Those figures divided = 0.67, or 67% And halved = 34% Reciprocal tariffs are calculated as the tariff rate necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the US and each of our trading partners. This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing. Continue reading...
