Geoff Magnus on US hypocrisy over single markets; and Kevin Watkins, CEO of Save the Children, on Boris Johnson’s pledge on education aid Donald Trump was characteristically unaware of the ironic significance of his metaphor about freeing ourselves from the “anchor” of the EU (Britain can ‘easily cope’ with no deal, claims Johnson at G7, 26 August). Rather than getting himself into a pickle over pork pies, Boris Johnson could have responded with the absurd fact that it has been illegal for decades for the Pentagon to acquire anchor chain from a foreign supplier. That embargo has nothing to do with national security, of course, but is a tiny manifestation of the all-pervasive, deep-rooted protectionism of the land of the free.

This is an investment that could help keep alive the hope of education for more than 600,000 children. Many more need help – and, having demonstrated leadership by example, Britain is well placed to call on other G7 partners to step up. Continue reading…
