Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called the basis for overturning the conviction “a slender reed” that ignored a five-month-long trial with 66 witnesses.

Britain voted to leave the European Union in a referendum ten years ago. Business leaders were on different sides of the debate when Britain voted for Brexit.

Ten years ago, Britain voted to leave the European Union and it has been paying a price ever since. Few UK leaders advocate rejoining because the issue remains politically divisive. It took four years for British cheesemaker Michael Harte's company to find international buyers again for its cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in distant Hong Kong. The current leadership uncertainty gripping the ruling Labour Party is just the latest iteration of the turmoil that Brexit inserted into the heart of British politics. Keir Starmer is a born-again Brexiteer.
