The European Commission move on X & Grok today is significant.
Worth drawing attention to the fact that the Commission “may impose interim measures in the absence of meaningful adjustments to the X service.”
The European Commission could go so far as to suspend Grok or X as it continues inquiries.

He walked away from his own tariff deal last summer. He could walk away from this one too. All prior agreements are collateral for the next one. Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania.

This is grossly unfair. Carers are already underpaid for the work they do and resultant savings to the state. Taxing their meagre income adds insult to injury.
Not to mention the allowance is means tested to include their spouses income so many don’t even get the full allowance.
