Leaked that were very frank about his assessment of the president , and it was not very flattering. It was business as usual, but five hours later that proves not to be the case. David but President Trump really had gone after him, even calling him stupid and things like that. At the same time, the British Government backed him. But it is hard to do your job if they are not going to talk to you. Alix for sure. But also the leaking. He was supposed to report back. That was the point. In the markets, we are seeing a bond selloff headed into the fed , particularly on the long end and in europe. German bund yields are at their highest level since three weeks ago.

Two Wind Turbines onshore, which begs plenty of questions many from within the Conservative Party itself aboutjust how committed this Prime Minister is to the uks climate agenda. Today, the pressure finally told. The government caved to a backbench rebellion, announcing that it would relax Planning Permission for new onshore wind farms. Those changes will come into force immediately and will scrap a previous rule that allowed just one objection to a Planning Application for a new onshore development. The new measures will also allow communities to apply to their local council to have Wind Turbines in their area, although elected councillors will still make the final decision.
