… skimming the first few … it’s not a very good debunking.
For example, the debunking in this instance doesn’t address the statement (UK now keeps 100% of its customs revenue), which is true
The vibe.

Apparently @samuelmarclowe.bsky.social is so committed to his craft that he went to Greenland prospecting

How do you impose tariffs on a movie, I hear you ask.
Well ...
The trick is to do none of them well!

New MFN just landed hard, like an overnight tariff announcement.

This looks sensible. Why has no one done this?

Where is a nice cup of tea really from?

I'm looking forward to tea production stats from English tea growers (shout out to www.dartmoorestatetea.com, tregothnan.co.uk, and peterstontea.com) that look like this chart...

17.09.2025 12:16 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Yup — but think there need to be significant tariff differentials for people to really care

Now, with thanks to @joshspero.ft.com’s reporting, we have a real life example of this happening. More specifically, where is Fortnum and Mason’s tea from? (According to US customs.)
on.ft.com/4nsssZm Fortnum & Mason tea sales suffer as Trump’s trade war hits ‘King’s grocer’
And for @alphaville.ft.com in April:
on.ft.com/485aUyn Trump’s new rules (of origin)
Since the beginning of the year/of time, I have been boring people by going on about rules of origin. In particular, why large country-by-country tariff means the US will start to pay more attention to where a product is from.
