Come and join us LIVE on Tuesday 20th May at Cadogan Hall in London, tickets available now: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/electoral-dysfunction-live/
Donald Trump has pressed pause on his higher tariffs... but not before he unleashed absolute chaos on the global economy.
It all came down to the bond market - which you might remember from Liz Truss's time as prime minister...
Alongside most countries, the UK still has the base level of 10% tariffs on exports and 25% on automobiles, so is the prime minister's "keep cool" strategy still paying off?
Or is the UK just in the same boat, waiting along with everybody else for Trump's next move?
One thing's for sure - Harriet thinks the UK government is speaking in code. She says Starmer needs to speak up and reassure the British public a bit more.
Also, you might have noticed the excitement in the air because we're doing another live show! Come and join us on Tuesday 20th May at Cadogan Hall in London, tickets available now: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/electoral-dysfunction-live/
