Cruella is what happens when you feed Priti Patel after midnight...
5 years? Well that's not Cruella's fault now is it. Labour will have been in power (possibly) for 3 and a half of those five years. Sack the Shadow Home Secretary.

…. But my older daughter is still determined to go to St Andrews or York. Ah well
Get her to look really really seriously at the reality of accommodation in both places. St A may be lovely but the undergraduates are all commuting from Dundee
Just told her. Now she’s grumpy
They have built a lot more undergraduate accommodation on the edge of St Andrews in the last 3 or 4 years. It is modern block but it is handy for the campus. I don't think many commute from Dundee now. Indeed one of my pal's sons in the village stayed in student accommodation throughout his degree even although he had a car.
Don Paterson is very good - not to say hilarious - on Dundee in his recently published memoir, "Toy Wars". (See chapter 9 - Bungopolis). Just hope the place has improved since he was brought up there.
Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, with its sizeable subsidies for 'green' manufacturing, has actually started the US down the road in addressing the issue (and incentivised the EU to do likewise).
God knows where we'd be under a second term Trump.
So an America First industrial policy is good as long as it's not Trump doing it?
Trump never did an America First industrial policy.
Simply shouting "America First", being rude about non-white people, and cutting taxes on the wealthy while doing nothing about business investment does not amount to an industrial strategy.
Biden has had a strategy to encourage investment, changed the tax system with his unfortunately named IRA, and the market has responded accordingly.
Nobody does witless like me! In fact, I invented witless, just so I could drain the swamp and lock up all those evil Woke who STOLE MY ELECTION WIN, THE GREATEST EVER, and I will WIN AND TAKE WITLESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DESTROY ALL MY ENEMIES and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

It's a long list and none of it positive. And next time the list will be longer.
1. Undermine the Constitution. 2. Pack the SC with alleged dodgy judges. 3. Likely sedition (re: 6th Jan) 4. Alleged treason (relationship with Putin) 5. Drive a coach and horses through election protocol. 6. Ignore Hurricane Maria's aftermath. 7. Encourage racial division 8. ...

Yeah, you might need to double check your work on that.
Tariffs on strategic imports is something President's have messed around with for a long time. The (from memory) steel dispute that got resolved post Brexit which saw us facing hefty steel tariffs when we were in the EU was a dispute with tariffs that went back about twenty years.
Trump used the same tools other Presidents had used for decades. He didn't pass any legislature or reforms or tax/subsidy changes to encourage investment.

My parents just sold their house to a terribly posh woman from London who bought it for her daughter to live in while she is at Uni in St Andrews. Students have taken over much of the accommodation in the town. I shouldn't be too negative about St Andrews, as others have noted it is rated highly for student satisfaction and is a beautiful town with a unique character. I was sad to see my folks move out.
Even when I was a kid St Andrews was stuffed full of yahs. I used to work in a restaurant when I was at school and it's given me a life-long aversion to the privately educated.

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath rather than a fascist.
He's not more interested in an ideology than he is himself.
Fascism comes in different guises.
This is the definition from Wiki: Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]
Give Trump and his supporters a second term and this description will be on the nail. The only thing on that list he didnt achieve was militarism. Give him time.

I am making the correlation that the imposition of trade friction (including tariffs) is inflationary. We can see that from the loss of frictionless trade since Brexit (predominantly non-tariff barriers). Inflation is often a lagging indicator.
