Zelenskyy to Fox: “Everybody understands that the prices of diesel don't depend on our attacks on diesel in Russia. “Everybody understands that it depends on the blocking of Hormuz, the Strait of Hormuz.”

Trump gets out of Marine One extremely gingerly and walks across the tarmac (note that you can see what appears to be some sort of brace on his right leg)

Astonishing. One of the most boring, middle of the road and actually irritating DJs. Worse is that he showed promise in his early days. I suppose it mirrors the baffling popularity of dreary bands like Coldplay.

“Labour has so thoroughly committed to fighting Reform, psychologically and emotionally, that the Tories now barely even register.” Interesting from Starmer’s former speechwriter Alan Lockey on why the Tories would be a tougher main opponent for Labour than Reform. www.arguably.uk/p/labour-isn...

Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:

We're six weeks out and Trump is under 35% approval. I think it is safe to say that we're firmly in 2006 territory, and an even bigger wave than 2006 is on the table. We haven't felt the end of the fuel shock, and who knows how Trump will attempt to make himself the center of attention.
