An important reminder

Democrats need to hammer on these 3 tariff issues:

1. They were a tax on American consumers;

2. The Supreme Court (including Republican justices) ruled that they were illegal; and

3. Even if they're repaid (they won't be), the money goes to corporations, not consumers who paid more at the store.

Trump raises global tariffs to 15 per cent in wake of Supreme Court loss President continues his attack on judges and announces levies on US trading partners will ‘immediately’ increase

Trump raises global tariffs to 15 per cent in wake of Supreme Court loss ft.trib.al/kwHUPFt

Trump raises tariffs to 15% on imports from all countries President announced increase from 10% using different authority from mechanism that supreme court struck down on Friday Donald Trump announced on Saturday that would raise a temporary tariff rate on US imports from all countries from 10% to 15%, less than 24 hours after the US supreme court ruled against the legality of his flagship trade policy. Infuriated by the high court’s ruling on Friday that he had exceeded his authority and should have got congressional approval for the tariffs, the US president railed against the justices who blocked his use of tariffs, calling them a “disgrace to the nation”, and ordered an immediate 10% tariff on all imports, in addition to any existing levies.

If added to other tariffs this would breach the deal with the EU

Donald Trump post on Truth Social announcing he will raise tariffs to 15%.

Reminder: Americans are paying the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Instead of giving you a rebate, he’s taxing you.

Cut the checks.

But we have to, otherwise we’re not advocating for British needs.

If the UK government is going to insist on staying outside of the EU, we need to hold their feet to the fire over negotiating better arrangements

If they can’t, well, maybe they had better start the process to rejoin and soon.

They're all rotten to the core, infesting and rotting each other.
For stupid amounts of money.
Stupid money means stupid choices.
We need to have a wealth cap.

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

MAGA voters loved tariffs.

Thought that it meant punishment for the rest of the world.

Instead they've made themselves poorer.

Way to go Einsteins.

A brilliant day on the doorsteps of Gorton & Denton, ending with a very special iftar with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social & the amazing canvassing teams @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social
@greenparty.org.uk 💚🌻💚

Dear Lucy Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales P.S – Hannah looks forward to saying hi in Parliament!

Dear Lucy Powell,

A response to your letter:

Not sure why currently it's not loading but this was the page this morning.

Jung is spot on here. Many scientists believe – consciously or unconsciously – that they have a monopoly on wisdom. They often stubbornly resist new ideas.

Our century is no exception. Many people are trapped in the bubble of their tiny observable universe and despise people with new insights.

Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin faced GB News complaint over colleague’s claim of ‘inappropriate comments’ Exclusive: Nigel Farage understood to have known of grievance against byelection candidate, whose lawyer described it as resolved ‘minor workplace matter’ of miscommunication

“Farage…decided the complaint was not serious enough to warrant a rethink about Goodwin’s selection…
[He]characterised the complaint as “just Matt being Matt”

Hmm. Not sure a pair of misogynists are the best people to judge what’s “serious enough”.
Let’s ask her.

You heard it here first 🖕🏻

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

Doesn't matter who commissions a poll as long as the company is credible, which this one is.

Give us our illegal tariff money back, Shillbilly Vance.
