Mertz is yet another one to discover that if you upset the Big Donald, he has a way of fighting back in a very spasmodic, non-strategic kind of way.

We can conclude from this that there isn't such a thing, really, as the Trump whisperer.

Trump is basically saying, well, if you upset me, I make you weaker, but you're also making America weaker.

That is exactly the kind of thing that Putin will exploit.

Germany needs to move, and Europe needs to move towards weaning itself off

this military and security dependency. We're facing an existential threat. We're going to have to be

serious about our defence. This episode is brought you by Fuse Energy. Energy policy rarely stays

in Westminster for long, usually arise for the bill. And from the first of April,

75% of renewables obligation costs will come off electricity bills and move into general taxation.

So if bills are meant to fall from April, why would anyone bother switching? Because policy

sets the floor. The saving itself is automatic.

What suppliers offer beyond that isn't, and that's where real competition operates.

Fuse goes beyond the mandated saving.

Customers who switch save around an additional £200 on average.
