In this week’s newsletter, we address the developments that have unfolded in the United Kingdom. On Tuesday, Tommy Robinson, a prominent critic of Islam, received an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court. Merely two days later, the Southport killer was charged for terrorism following the discovery of an Al Qaeda manual alongside a deadly poison in his home. How long had these details been kept hidden?

The government’s two-tiered stance has never been so painfully apparent, and the British population are only more angered now their suspicions have been confirmed, albeit following a questionably long, three-month wait. Notably, it was these suspicions that led to the locking up of protestors in the tragedy’s aftermath.

With the American election looming, we also include a cautionary tale for the Trump administration. Using Liz Truss’ short-lived tenure on Downing Street as a valuable case study, Connor Tomlinson explores how the American economy could be weaponized against our next possible President – and how to prevent it.
