Further market turmoil from Trump tariffs – Prince Harry Ukraine visit – Scorching temperatures to hit Britain

Friday’s UK headlines cover a variety of domestic and international stories. There is, of course, continued coverage of the fallout from the Trump tariff debacle amid claims of market manipulation and calls for an investigation into potential insider trading.

Royal news continues to be highlighted on the front pages – in print and online – with Prince Harry making a surprise visit to Ukraine and Prince William talking football after Villa’s 3-1 loss. Charles and Camilla are pictured on several tabloids after marking their 20th wedding anniversary with a state visit to Italy, where the pair exercised their soft power in a bid to rebuild relations with the rest of Europe.

The UK is set for another sunny day with temperatures reaching over 23C in some parts – and in Scotland, there are warnings of potential wildfires.

Trump backs down as Corbyn and China make a stand – Editorial

Trump backs down but will the MAGA crew accept it? probably not. For him this is a game of who can bear more pain, but is it the same for the MAGA crew.

Did anyone notice Trump and Netanyahu press conference, it went a bit under radar with all the tariff talk but not one single journalist had the courage to ask about the Red Crescent massacre.

This week Jeremy Corbyn and 30 MPs have written to the Prime Minister demanding that there should be an independent inquiry into the red crescent massacre. This deserves our support.


And imagine if there was no drama from the US tariffs, what would we be doing? hmmm!

A week in crisis, Pyongyang opens up & the end of Scotland’s heatwave – World News Briefing

A week in crisis, Pyongyang opens up global marathon runners and this week spells the end of Scotland’s heatwave. This weeks World News Briefing is dominated by the fallout from Trump’s Tariff gamble. The US tariffs and trade wars launched by the Trump administration have signaled the end of globalisation.

It is hard to focus on anything else, but let’s not forget the events from the weekend, where Israel executed and buried Palestinian doctors and medics in a mass grave, which was exposed as a ‘mistake’ by the many but significantly by the BBC as well.

There is a certain level of optimism by the Starmer government, they were hit by the least amount of tariffs, especially compared to the EU, perhaps, that invite from the King may have done trick. But this may have more to do with teh fact the UK quietly and efficiently signed a mineral deal with Ukraine in January 2025.

China just imposed an additional 84% tariff on US goods. This is going to kill many US Farmers’ businesses. This is going to harm US pharmaceutical companies, aircraft manufacturers, and multiple other hardworking Americans.

Wrong Mr. Trump. China isn’t paying a 104% Tariff. Americans are paying it. If you still think China is paying it then you should be impeached for stupidity.
