Important moment in the Brexit saga, though note it is still only a political agreement. Note also that Tory cries of 'surrender' will be bogus - something like this was already in prospect under Sunak.

Not main point but very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg keeps on talking about the "child benefit cap" in *tax credits* (it's Universal Credit, and has been for most claimants for some time).

Reflects both very poor briefing *and* her complete ignorance of the topics she asks questions about..

Navarro doesn't understand the deal they signed. The text reads: "The United Kingdom and the United States affirm that
imported food and agricultural goods must comply with the importing country’s sanitary and
phytosanitary (SPS) standards and other mutually agreed standards."

If Andrew Neil couldn't see what millions of people could see clearly, based on the evidence of Trump's own words and deeds, why should he be taken seriously as a political commentator?

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Musk tweets that Jess Phillips is a rape genocide apologist.

Musk tweets that Jess Phillips is a rape genocide apologist.

In the last decade, two Members of Parliament in the UK have been murdered by extremists.

Elon Musk, with this continued disinformation, risks inspiring another attack or killing.

He is a danger to UK national security and the inaction from UK Government on the subject is no longer sustainable.
