The UK mustn’t let Donald Trump bully us or our ally Canada. We need to work with our allies in Europe and around the world to stand up to him. The Prime Minister should invite Commonwealth leaders to London to discuss a joint response to Trump’s global trade war.

Particularly this > the race to the bottom will not work (sensible Conservatives should probably also heed this advice too)
3/ Labour MPs calling for tougher immigration policies to counter Reform UK are missing the point. Without a fundamental shift in who the economy and society work for, this approach won’t stem the tide.

No one doubts these are difficult decisions, but it's the complete dismissal/ridiculing of environmental concerns that is the jarring mis-step by @RachelReevesMP. Such clangers - from winter fuel payments to gifts of clothes - are characteristic of this Government
Stop worrying about bats and newts? No @RachelReevesMP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.
