    The WhatsApp world order. My new paper, on how the world economy changed and politics failed to keep up. Global markets are now the default, and governments are struggling with the last thirty years of change. With more to come.

    Wait a moment, why aren't we funding social care from the money we sent to the EU rather than a rise in national insurance? There was a bus...

    Current tariff on soy sauce entering the UK from Japan - 0%. Tariff on soy sauce entering UK after UK-Japan trade deal - 0%. Not a good look when you can't trust a government social media account to tell the truth.
    The bakers used a lot of soya sauce in the first challenge on #GBBO, so it's a good thing it will be made cheaper thanks to our trade deal with Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

    Anyone else still have this weird sense that those who pushed Brexit hardest still can't believe that the EU now treat us as a non-member?

    Angela Merkel doesn't need articles written on why she isn't like President Trump.

    Quite obviously the BBC should not be providing a platform for those suspected of fraud to issue their defence. Absolutely no idea how this can be considered appropriate.

    Somebody in the Met Police or government needs to have a darned good explanation of why it is ok to protest against a lockdown policy that saves lives, but not ok to protest in support of women's safety.
    Perhaps the women who attended last week's vigil for a murdered young woman should have taken off their masks and pretended to be an anti-Lockdown protest if they didn't want to be violently broken up by the Met Police. Current protest marching through London ๐Ÿ‘‡

    What I think we're about to discover in the UK is that we took seamless borders for granted for 25 years.

    Your daily reminder that the government chose to raise trade barriers by a level unprecedented for a modern developed economy in the middle of pandemic induced supply chain strains, without any sense this might lead to problems.

    Presumably the EU yet again failed to collapse today. This keeps happening, against predictions from certain sources in the UK.

    Sorry to say, this is the UK Home Office immigration policy brilliantly shown in one cartoon. Well done @mortenmorland

    The primary issue for the UK government this morning should be their competence. They imposed the largest single one day rise in trade barriers in modern history, and did not plan effectively, possibly not at all, for it.

    Utterly disgusting tweet. Russophobia? That country invaded another and you expect love for that? You think the UK fighting against Hitler in 1940 was Germanophobia? Utterly unfit to own a UK newspaper or be a member of the House of Lords.
    The hilariously miscalculated closure of @Nigel_Farageโ€™s account tells a wider story: one of corporate virtue signalling which, since last February, has weaponised Russophobia for the sake of moral posturing.
