On today's Sky News Daily, we're sharing the latest episode of Electoral Dysfunction.
Donald Trump has pressed pause on his higher tariffs... but not before he unleashed absolute chaos on the global economy.
It all came down to the bond market - which you might remember from Liz Truss's time as prime minister...
Alongside most countries, the UK still has the base level of 10% tariffs on exports and 25% on automobiles, so is the prime minister's "keep cool" strategy still paying off?
Or is the UK just in the same boat, waiting along with everybody else for Trump's next move?
One thing's for sure - Harriet thinks the UK government is speaking in code. She says Starmer needs to speak up and reassure the British public a bit more. -
It's been five weeks since the Birmingham bin strikes began over a long-running dispute between workers and the council. The city's residents have complained that mounting rubbish is a risk to public health, with rotting food attracting foxes, cockroaches and rats.

Donald Trump has raised trade tariffs on China again - up to 125% and that's effective immediately.
At the same time, he's ordered a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for dozens of countries.
If it wasn't a trade war between the world's two biggest economies before - it is now.
On this episode, Mark Austin examines if China will keep on retaliating against Donald Trump. Its tariffs on US imports had been increased to 84%.
He's joined by vice president of the Beijing thinktank, the Centre for China and Globalisation, Victor Gao. He explains why he's sure that China will not blink first in this 'dangerous' standoff.
Plus, our business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan on why the president has singled out China.
*This episode was recorded just before President Trump increased US tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%.

President Donald Trump has imposed immediate tariffs of 10% on all British exports to the United States. He did this as he announced a "declaration of economic independence" for the US.
On his self-declared "Liberation Day", Mr Trump described the tariffs as reciprocal and said he was going to be "kind" by charging half of each country’s total "anti-US" measures.
Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso about what these tariffs might mean for British business, which sectors are exempt, and whether a further deal can be worked out with Mr Trump.
