Donald Trump threatens UK again and warns ‘they better be careful’

Donald Trump threatens UK again and warns ‘they better be careful’

Published by Sam Flores

The UK was back on Donald Trump’s mind as he threatened ‘a big tariff’ in retaliation to a digital services tax introduced by Westminster six years ago. The tax, which has been enforced since 2020, imposes a two per cent levy on the revenues of several major US tech companies – including social media firms. But amid strains in relations between the two countries during the Middle East war, Mr Trump raised the issue with journalists at the Oval Office on Thursday (April 23). He told reporters: “We’ve been looking at it and we can meet that very easily by just putting a big tariff on the UK, so they better be careful. If they don’t drop the tax, we’ll probably put a big tariff on the UK.” The tax targets companies whose worldwide revenues from digital activities exceed £500 million, with more than £25 million of the revenue from UK users. According to a 2025 Treasury review, the levy raised more than £800 million in 2024–25, up from £678 million in 2023–24. Click here …

Osborne House was once the holiday retreat of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, but now one of its most opulent features keeps those at Sandringham House busy with its difficult upkeep, as it has been relocated.  According to the Sandringham estate’s official website, three beautiful chandeliers hang in the ballroom, which once resided at Osbourne House. They were then moved to Buckingham Palace before Queen Mary noticed them and had them brought to Sandringham.   © InstagramThe ballroom at Sandringham looks out over the parkland “They are each made of over a thousand pieces of Venetian crystal, and on the ground stand at seven feet high. They are carefully lowered twice a year for cleaning – hats off to the housekeeping staff,” the site states. Inside the Sandringham ballroom The ballroom is perhaps one of the most impressive areas of the house, situated on the 20,000-acre Norfolk estate. The room was added in 1884 to host lavish parties and gatherings and features a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a fireplace. Recommended videoYou may also likeWATCH: Inside Royal …

MarineTraffic map showing current ships traffic on Strait of Hormuz dislplayed on a laptop screen and MarineTraffic logo displayed on a phone screen are seen in this illustration photo taken in Krakow, Poland on March 5, 2026. Jakub Porzycki | Nurphoto | Getty Images Oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz “must be very careful,” the spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on Monday. The spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, also defended Iran’s attacks on Gulf states, telling CNBC’s Dan Murphy that targeting “military bases and assets” belonging to the United States in the region is “legitimate under international law.” The price of crude oil has sharply spiked past $100 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed. “As long as the situation is insecure, I think all tankers, all maritime navigation, must be very careful,” said Baghaei, who is also head of the Center for Public Diplomacy. He said that Iran will fight against the U.S. and Israel “as long as it takes,” and that his nation is preparing for …

Draft gender guidance urges ‘very careful approach’

Draft gender guidance urges ‘very careful approach’

Published by skeptic

More from this theme Recent articles Schools should take a “very careful approach in relation to social transition”, new draft government gender guidance states, with “particular caution” urged in primary settings. The Department for Education is consulting on draft guidance on supporting children who are questioning their gender, which if signed off would form part of the statutory keeping children safe in education (KCSIE) guidance. The guidance states that parents should be involved in the “vast majority” of cases in which a child questions their gender. It comes after the landmark Cass Review of gender care services for under-18s, which found “remarkably weak” evidence around medical interventions in gender care, with a lack of research available. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said the proposed guidance should “give teachers the clarity they need to ensure the safeguarding and wellbeing of gender questioning children and young people”. ‘Very careful’ approach The guidance states schools should take a “very careful approach in relation to social transition”. “The Cass Review acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of …

In a video posted by Friends of Midway Atoll (FOMA), one of the newest Mōlī (Laysan albatross) chicks gets a careful “beak preen” from its parent.

According to FOMA, their beaks are essential survival tools, but can also be used with “precision and gentleness, applying only the pressure needed to tend to a fragile chick.” When first born, a chick will receive some yummy regurgitated fish oil as one of its earliest meals. Chicks this young are fed a nutritious oily mix of partially digested squid and fish eggs. Every year, Laysan albatross return to this wildlife refuge on the northeastern edge of the Hawaiian Archipelago and reunite with their mates. If all goes well—as it has for this pair—the female birds will lay one egg …
