UK shelves £110m frictionless post-Brexit trade border project Programme launched by last Tory government was worked on by Deloitte and IBM but was paused in 2024

⚠️ The shelving of the single trade window project is an important reminder of the ridiculousness of implementing trade barriers with your closest trading partner.

❌ £110 million wasted.

Just like Farage and many others in Reform, Goodwin openly admires Donald Trump. He has praised mass deportations, presenting Trump as a model for Britain.

He also proposed taxing people without children, a policy that has been described as something from the Handmaiden's Tale.

An entrepreneurial politician would translate this into tangible public good for voters to understand. How many hospitals could it pay for? How many police officers?

February 9, 2026 - Why haven't the Epstein files yet caught Trump in their gyre? Simon's live chat with Iain Dale on the UK's LBC.

While Starmer fights for survival, Trump - for now - is home free. Why haven't the Epstein files touched him?

The will of the rich and powerful: Brexit and the Epstein files The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

Donald Trump is a racist.
He has always been a racist.
He will always be a racist.
When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

Peter Mandelson's Downfall Puts Morgan McSweeney's Future in Doubt Keir Starmer insists he is sticking by his chief adviser in the wake of the Mandelson scandal, but others have their doubts, reports Adam Bienkov

“Getting rid of Morgan is our only way back..." why many Labour MPs now think McSweeney's exit is the only way to save Starmer's leadership and why some think it will just bring the Prime Minister down too

Where the amount is unknown, the contract has not been included in the overall £672m+ spend. The bulk of the contracts are post 2018, the Olympics contract dates back to 2012 and some work with unreleased dates could be earlier. Design: Lynsey Irvine

City minister accused of ignoring £2bn car finance tax loophole Critics say banks will be able to avoid tax on compensation payouts to victims of £11bn loans scandal

UK govt accused of ignoring £2bn car finance tax loophole.

Banks can't treat compensation as tax deductible expense.

But motor finance divisions are registered as “non-bank entities". So they sidestep the rules, dodge tax.

Govt can change the law. Will it upset its corporate backers?

‘Trump has reached exhaustion after the first year, and is asking for impossible things' | The News Agents Donald Trump’s address to the Davos forum was a rambling attack on Europe, as he once again spelled out why Greenland should belong to America. What can we learn about where the US president is,…

To Jon Sopel, Trump's Davos speech was like a "Mafia gangster boss making his demands" – to Emily Maitlis he sounded "bored and not sure what he was on about."

They estimate he stayed on script for ten minutes before veering off into threats and nonsense
