I and many many others have been a repeated subject of scam ads. It takes a surprisingly long time to get social media firms to take them down even when they are identical to previous proven fakes. Not great.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Dear @Keir_Starmer, you said to big tech: 'If you profit from harm & abuse, you lose the right to self-regulate' - yet you've done almost nothing to tackle scam ads?

BREAKING: An ally of Wes Streeting - who came out publicly to call for Starmer to go - says Streeting has “blown it.” They say he has lost support today from MPs who might have backed him and that they now don’t think he has the numbers to get on the ballot.

Argentina's free market experiment spearheaded by @JMilei has once again defied the doomsayers.

The declining poverty rate shows how capitalism, not socialism, creates prosperity.

Labour's growth plan is more investment. Most (80pc) is UK private sector. By driving up employment costs, it is pushing firms to invest. The numbers are improving. But the price is higher unemployment. UK is looking US these days, and more French https://t.co/XSpV9VmrsV

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

Excellent, thoughtful column.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

Tommy Robinson is holding a carol service today billed as a statement that "Britain belongs to the British people."

The cross is being co-opted into culture wars. But the King and the Pope have a very different vision of what faith means.

Given the dilemma whether to tack left or right to reclaim supporters, the government seems to be choosing “both”. But hasn’t Reform been doing the same?

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

I’ve been working in politics a long time. I’ve seen some bonkers stuff. But having the Prime Minister blast an opponent’s policy as racist on Sunday, then getting the Home Secretary to announce the same policy on Monday is about the maddest thing I’ve seen at a party conference.

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

He has such good political instincts, it’s interesting to me that Farage doesn’t fear blowback from testifying against the UK in another country - and even offering tacit support for US countermeasures. Even 5 years ago it would have been v unpopular.

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

PM pours scorn on Farage, who’s missing PMQs as in Washington talking about free speech. Starmer says he has gone “to bad mouth and talk down our country” and champion sanctions on UK. Response to a likely planted question on the Online Safety Act

After six years of reporting in Hong Kong, and at eight months pregnant, I’m very sad to be leaving my colleagues, friends and the place I’ve called home.

I’ll be out of office for a while on maternity leave. Wherever I land, catch you on the other side

[Oren Cass @oren_cass]

In which I join the @business Trumponomics podcast to discuss tariffs, inflation, and the Fed.

Really enjoyed talking with @AnnaEconomist, one of the few honest brokers out there willing to say when the economics profession is just getting it wrong. https://t.co/9RxTNn3NSO

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

Is Trump right that the Fed is getting it wrong? The fear is that tariffs will stoke inflation, but that is not supposed to happen when inflation expectations are ‘well anchored’, as the Fed insists. So what gives? @oren_cass and @AnnaEconomist get into it https://t.co/b6sX0jT2Ki

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

AND f you can’t get enough of this talk there’s Trumponomics - in which economist and Donald Trump fan Stephen Moore explains why he’s bullish about the US even though he’s not happy at all with higher tariffs. https://t.co/nvfMVPJGbc

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

A double dose of podcast magic this week as I reunite with @peston to talk US tax cuts, the mad pace of politics and economics coverage today, Labour’s new tilt on immigration and much else. https://t.co/2ga2mha8g0

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

@nouriel: “The strike price for a Trump put is much higher than for the Powell put and also higher than for the Xi Jinping put. In other words: Trump is gonna blink before the Fed does and before Xi Jinping. “

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

Could China win this trade war with the US? Losing its biggest export market is a big deal, but as @nouriel explains, Xi Jinping has a higher pain threshold than Donald Trump - and more room to cushion the blow on the domestic economy https://t.co/xZRj19pmCn

Powerful @nytimes Daily podcast with a US small business owner at the sharp end of the trade war with China https://t.co/NA9cR8fvH0

[Kyle Handley @KyleLHandley]

Enjoyed discussing the new tariffs on @KQEDnews @KQEDForum show/podcast this morning with @WallachLori and @MyStephanomics, and Alexis Madrigal. You can listen at the link or wherever you stream podcasts.

One of the more interesting historical parallels I’ve seen for the past week…Trump Isn’t the First President to Blow Up the Trading System https://t.co/nMFZV1ob4i

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

Not all economists agree on this topic, to be sure…(and yes there will exporters in 10% countries like the UK who may now see a greater capacity to compete against China in global markets).

[Oren Cass @oren_cass]

The new policies announced by President Trump today confirm the end of the disastrous WTO era and lay the groundwork for a new set of arrangements in the international economy that prioritize the national interest and the flourishing of the nation's working families.
