The oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal, 92 year old, was offered 29% of the compensation she asked for. Now offered 60%.

Scandalous. Pay them.

Post Office CEO Paula Vennells collected £5.1m whilst prosecuting innocent people.

Hey @BBCBreaking, just how appropriate do you think this is: juxtaposing football celebrations on shared screen with coverage of Myanmar and Thailand earthquake with people pulling loved ones from the rubble? Have you lost all sense of values?

The Tate issue is actually THE conservative litmus test of our time.

If you have called teachers groomers for giving teens sexually inappropriate books but won’t call Andrew Tate a groomer for beating, sexually assaulting, and trafficking a teen, you’re an utter fraud.

I am having a hard time understanding how withholding intelligence and early warning from Ukraine advances our strategic interests or helps make America great.

BREAKING: The Economist incinerates Donald Trump for destroying the American economy with a brutal cover image and a scathing piece entitled: "Donald Trump’s economic delusions are already hurting America."

This one has MAGA world melting down...

The expertly informed piece accuses Trump of painting a "fantastical picture" of his plans during his speech to Congress by claiming that his ill-conceived tariffs will "preserve jobs, make America richer still, and protect its very soul."

"Unfortunately, in the real world things look different," the article reads. "Investors, consumers and companies show the first signs of souring on the Trumpian vision. With his aggressive and erratic protectionism, Mr Trump is playing with fire."

In reality, the tariffs have caused an immediate and dramatic downturn in the stock market and spiked consumer prices. Trump is already scrambling to backtrack by delaying the 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada — although he has yet to abandon them completely.

The Economist (whose pieces are run without the names of their authors attributed) bluntly states that by imposing his disastrous tariffs, Trump is "setting light to one of the world’s most integrated supply chains" and it's becoming clear that policy is "set on the president's whim."

"That will cause lasting damage at home and abroad," it says.

It goes on to say that the hopes for an economic Golden Age are "going up in smoke" as MAGA oligarch Elon Musk's DOGE causes "chaos" and the Republican budget blueprint adds "trillions to the national debt."

Despite Trump insisting that he would usher in a booming economy, The Economist warns that "the markets are flashing red."

"The S&P 500 has given up nearly all its gains since the election. Although economic growth remains fair, in recent weeks the yield on ten-year Treasuries has fallen, measures of consumer sentiment have plunged and small businesses’ confidence has slipped, hinting at a slowdown to come," the article reads. "Meanwhile, inflation expectations are rising, perhaps because Mr Trump is talking about all those wonderful new tariffs."

It goes on to criticize Trump for ignoring inflation and his claim that "the economic harm from tariffs is worth it." Tellingly — the magazine points out — Trump is not constantly posting on social media about the stock market like he during his first term. Clearly, he knows the situation is dire.

The Economist then shifts its attention to Trump's inner circle, stating that his Treasury and Commerce Secretary are failing to rein Trump in, making them "come across as stooges."

"For some reason, Mr Trump reserves special hostility for Canada and the EU. Because his approach lacks any coherent logic, there is no knowing how to avert his threats," the piece continues.

"The world economy is at a dangerous moment. Having defied reality (and the constitution) after he lost the election in 2020, only to be triumphantly re-elected in 2024, Mr Trump has no patience for being told that he is wrong," the piece reads. "The fact that his belief in protectionism is fundamentally flawed may not sink in for some time, if it ever does."

"As the message that Mr Trump is harming the economy grows louder, he could lash out at the messengers, including his advisers, the Fed or the media. The president is likely to inhabit his protectionist fantasy for some time. The real world will pay the price," it concludes.

Bomb shelters across Ukraine were full with kids this morning, kids sheltering from russians that just want "peace".

Here in Ukraine we still somehow don't understand that missiles and suicide drones mean peace, but maybe the US administration can explain to us?
