What happened to America First?
After Brexit, more than 440 financial firms moved at least some of their operations from the UK to the EU, taking with them more than £900 billion in bank assets – such as business loans, investment portfolios and cash reserves – worth around 10% of the UK’s banking system. The Conversation, Amr Saber Algarhi & Adeola Y. Oyebowale, 30 March.
New research from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Doha for Science and Technology has found that Brexit has reduced the City of London’s financial clout. They argued that "until the reset reaches the City, London’s diminished role in European markets looks set to stay."

It’s his mess. He didn’t ask allies what they thought and has spent the last year slagging them off and supporting Putin. Allies aren’t playing the sycophant game any more
Sorry so how do you vote

In the UK postal votes must arrive by election day.
The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.
EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s Welsh leader has ruled out moving to an insurance-based healthcare system.

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Surely this calls in to question Nigel Farage’s leadership.
