Broadcaster Mike Parry criticized the Labour Government for a 100% increase in council tax on second homes, calling it an "act of malice." He argued that this policy, already in effect in Wales and parts of the South West, unfairly targets successful individuals and could lead to economic harm.

The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing three significant religious rights cases, potentially clarifying the free exercise clause's protections against government interference. One case involves Catholic Charities in Wisconsin contesting its ineligibility for a religious tax exemption, raising questions about how states assess an organization's religious purpose.
The other two cases focus on school choice, including whether parents can opt-out their children from LGBTQ-themed materials on religious grounds and the establishment of a religious charter school. These cases reflect ongoing national debates about religious rights and educational content.
Forbes: Trump Reportedly Targets 20% Tariffs As Europe Threatens Retaliation: Here’s What To Know As ‘Liberation Day’ Looms
President Trump is set to unveil a significant trade policy on April 2, termed "Liberation Day," which will introduce reciprocal tariffs aimed at addressing unfair trade practices. While he has hinted at a 20% tariff rate on most imports, details remain unclear, including which countries and goods will be affected.
The European Union has warned of potential retaliation against these tariffs, and there are concerns about the impact on U.S. businesses and inflation. Trump's administration may adopt a flexible approach, potentially offering exemptions and not matching all foreign tariff rates. The complexity of implementing such a policy raises questions about its feasibility.
