Commenting on Trump's decision to impose a 5% tariff on all goods from Mexico in response to a "surge" in immigration, analysts criticised both the fact that it was a proverbial 'bolt out of the blue' and the fact that it came right after the two countries had reached an agreement on a new trade pact.

Mexico was America's second largest trading partner and the White House said the tariffs were set to rise gradually until October, when they would reach 25% in the absence of an improvement in immigrant flows on their common border.

For his part, Michael Hewson at CMC Markets UK said: "It also makes it much more difficult for countries to take the US at its word when it comes to trade negotiations if its President can so easily lob a hand grenade into the path of an already agreed deal."

At 75 tons this was the largest tank in WW2
Used a massive 128mm Gun
3 of these knocked out 25 Sherman tanks without loss
Fortunately for the Allies it entered to late in the war to have any affect...only 75 made

IQE has ticked up

Opened at 33.55p
and down she went to 24p from a worrying RNS
Reversed back up to 32p when another RNS appeared to try to reassure
Now going down again...29p

A crazy ride....difficult to judge the bottom...could go back to 24p
lo!

You missed my point
Without a 2 state solution ...(separate nations)
A state of conflict will always exist
In 1995 a solution was close until a jewish right wing killer shot and killed PM RABIN

I agree with your posts

Israel has the strongest military force in the middle east thanks to huge US help
As US jews are a powerful voting lobby

LANGRO
The closest Israel came to a peaceful 2 state solution was in 1995...when this happened

A right-wing Jewish extremist shot and killed Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin tonight as he departed a peace rally attended by more than 100,000 in Tel Aviv, throwing Israel's government and the Middle East peace process into turmoil.

The 2 state solution is DEAD guv!!!
Thanks to Netanyahu and Trump agreeing to it.
This is the only way forward imo
ATB

have just been called

Hope the extreme right wing government FALLS !!

A GE is likely to bring a Corbyn coalition with the SNP and the increasingly popular peoples vote!
That is the Tory fear

BRONX
The party's with remain in their manifesto amounted to 40.4% and 29 seats
Lib Dems 20.3%
Greens 12.1%
SNP 3.6%
Plaid 1%
Change UK 3.4%

While NODEAL Brexit parties received 34.9% and 27 seats

With NI results to come (Tuesday)

GRIDLOCK will continue without a GE which is unlikely due to the state of the Tory party

Try focusing on the Tory Government for not controlling NON EU immigration....which hasn't decreased.
Under Theresa Mays control for 9 long years. (including 6 yrs in home office)
And factor in austerity that has cut services/council budgets to the bone (while direct taxes decreased)
So the very rich benefited most
