Obviously the ICE agents have been instructed to use maximum force in arresting opponents. Who decided this, and in what civilised country would six people be needed to wrestle someone into submission?

Name, rank, address. Shouldn't be so hard to identify the most despicable soldier in the Russian army or the world.

His death is a much bigger event than Trump's bogus state visit to the UK, which 80pc of the population don't support.

Apparently we have to go through this charade to keep selling cars to America. Thankfully all the hoo-ha, for which there is nil support, is confined to Windsor.

UK should have nothing to do with two theological countries which will never be at peace. Bases in Cyprus and Bahrain are unnecessary expenses in hard times.

What does Rubio know about Russia and its reputation three - sorry, 11 years - into invasion of a sovereign, democratic, progressive, courageous nation? Another mark of shame for the Trump administration, not for freedom-loving American people.

Thanks for this, explaining the depths to which some sections of the world's people can sink, in order to justify their and their leaders' existence. Unhappy, unfulfilled, empty people who prefer pretence, myth and false superiority to living in the flawed but real, responsible world.

There is no point engaging with a President who accepts that Putin has a right to hit back at a nation defending its very existence against a massively bigger attacker. The world admires endurance and ingenuity, not cowardice.

The impossibility of critiquing Trump's economic policy. Written by a Nobel prizewinner, May 8: Trump, however, has already declared that the tariff that really matters right now, the prohibitive 145 percent rate on imports from China, won’t be coming down.

I'm unclear, I thought Trump had restored full cooperation on intelligence and military supplies to Ukraine, after a brief interruption.

Another campaign speech at the White House. Boring, repetitive, puerile, whiney, lying, hateful, pathetic, vengeful, just the usual. How could you have voted for this guy twice?

When I visited Teos, near Izmir, with a Turkish archaeologist, in 1980s there were no buildings as I remember. My wife stubbed toe on what seemed a stone. Was identified as a loom weight with indentations on the clay on both sides which did not penetrate it. Thought maybe a toy made for child.

That ghastly truck and a Tesla were the background to today's on-the-go Trump-Musk interview. Looked a bit desperate, so made me happy, regardless of the tariff nonsense.

Reality, as opposed to Trump's claims the Russians are ready for peace. Every US TV network should show this, the only way it might be seen on the White House.

Obviously Trump wants to carve up the world with other authoritarian states like Russia and China. As in WW2 the only question is how long it takes for the democratic nations to band with US democrats to defeat him and the lies he feeds his cult support. Time to act, not mock.

Who wrote this, and does Huffpost not owe the world an apology? "Zelensky ended up leaving the White House without signing a deal which would have given America access to Ukraine’s mineral resources in exchange for military support." He didn't sign because he didn't get military support.

Someone explain to me why all the pressure was on Zelensky, to get him to sign away assets without military guarantees, and none on Putin, the aggressor? King Donald demands tributes.
