For the past week on here Brits have been patiently explaining to Americans the concept of 'sub judice' in relation to the trial of the murderer of #HenryNowak
Aaaand... then we find out this...

The President of the United States explicitly stating what was previously only implicitly understood; America's negotiating tactic is to allow Russia to kill more Ukrainian civilians in an attempt to force Kyiv to come to (unfavourable) terms with Moscow.

REPORTER: You said on social media that Russia is pounding Ukraine. Why not provide Ukraine with air defenses?
TRUMP: Because I have to know that they want to settle. We want them to settle.
Community note
Total US aid to Ukraine was 114B€, of which 64B was military assistance.
European aid amounts to 132B€ (62B military aid).
The statement from President Trump is factually incorrect

Given that everybody has spent ages telling us Reeves is in a tight spot, and budget will be really bad, I think she's done pretty well to raise 41 Bn while spreading the pain around fairly thinly.
Obviously nobody like tax rises, but overall not too bad.

Obviously the farmers are whining, because their incredibly sweet deal has been restricted, but it's still better than the rest of us get.
They still get:
£325k/500k IHT allowance
100% relief on first £1m
50% relief on everything above £1m

Having watched Gaza get flattened...
And Hezbollah decapitated...
Somebody in the Islamic Republic thought "I know - let's fire 500 ballistic missiles at Israel - I'm sure it'll be fine..."

About 500 ballistic missiles have been launched by Iran at Israel.

Some of my wife's friends are coming round for lunch.
We're having fajitas.
I've just grated a 550g block of cheese.
