The 'special relationship' has been underpinned significantly by a shared economic model.
But as politics on both sides of the Atlantic begins to become increasingly interventionist, what does it mean for UK-US relations in the future?

Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

Manchester United's owners will have those tennis balls on ebay by full time.
Sooner or later the veterans will be post-Fergie too.
Look forward to seeing Maguire in the dugout, Shaw Assistant Manager. Herrera set-piece coach.
There's a broad consensus that 'the problem isn't the manager' amongst United fans and the problem is upstairs.
It's time to consider the possibility that both things can be true at once, you have an underqualifed manager and a shit board.

My dreams of being a poet vanished like a thing in a whatever.
Can we please stop sharing footage of Jesus de Miguel Alameda's final moments?
It's deeply disrespectful to him and his family who won't want to watch it every time they're online.
Part of a morbid trend on this app.

They all seem terribly sad. I canβt think why, when theyβre so big and strong and have this beautiful warren. But they put me in mind of trees in November.

Voters have had enough of what I can only call Trumpβs Third World vibe. His territorial claims on neighbours and his petty insistence on renaming lakes and oceans, his obsession with building monstrous triumphal arches, his refusal to understand the difference between the Nobel Prize Committee and the Norwegian state (βa shithouse countryβ), his demands that political opponents be locked up; and, now, his overt electoral bribery, his offer to send a $5,000 cheque to every American if the Republicans hold Congress.
Nowhere is the Third Worldery more visible than in the way the presidentβs coterie has grown rich in office. The gifts from foreign governments, the digital currency racket β these would, until an eye-blink ago, have been unthinkable in the US. A handy test of whether you are in a tinpot autocracy is that the richest people are not entrepreneurs but presidential cronies.
Paywall down.

The damage and shame that this White House has brought upon the U.S. will last for decades.
Only me thinking the people of south London dress rather eccentrically these days completely forgetting it's Halloween

A Budget For Burnhamβ¦Not Britain
Healey ditched his defence mates to fund the welfare juggernaut.
My column in tomorrowβs Express.
Where will it all end?
A welfare system with a country attached.
π¨ SUMMARY: The OBR forecasts following John Healey's Budget
- Welfare spending will rise to Β£431.3bn by 2030/31 - an increase of Β£97.5bn a year in cash terms
- This includes Β£209.8bn on pensioner benefits, Β£110.7bn on Universal Credit, Β£69.6bn on disability benefits, Β£13.9bn on Child Benefit and Β£27.2bn on other welfare
- Inflation will peak at 3.75% in early 2027, up from the earlier prediction of 2%
- UK GDP growth will slow from around 1.25% in 2026 to 1% in 2027, before climbing to 1.6% in 2031
- Average UK unemployment will rise to 5.1% across 2026 and 2027
- The Employment Rights Act will "likely" have a negative economic impact because of reduced flexibility and greater uncertainty for businesses
- The landlord tax increases (property income) could contribute to a long-term rise in private rents and discourage landlords from entering the market
- Real household disposable income per person will be around 0.75% lower in 2030-31 than it expected in March 2026
- Higher earnings and frozen tax thresholds will increase income tax and National Insurance receipts by Β£9bn in 2026-27 and around Β£8bn on average in subsequent forecast years compared with March
- Net migration is forecast to fall to 120,000 in the year to mid-2026, then gradually rise to 230,000 by the year to mid-2031
- Nominal weekly earnings growth will slow to around 3.5% in 2026, then average roughly 2.25% a year
- Andy Burnham's first-time buyer scheme could raise house prices by increasing demand without enough new homes being built
