They woke to find themselves trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not their own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.

The UK's largest water company reported post-tax income of £113m for the 12 months to the end of March, swinging from a £1.51bn post-tax loss the previous year.

However, the firm's net debt also swelled to £18.5bn from £16.8bn as it said it "continued to fund the business through... debt and internally generated cash flows".

Asia is a continent of contrasts
Sam Freedman and James O'Malley's observations on their respective Asian locations:

Sam Freedman:
It's funny being in Singapore while Starmer is being defenestrated because (for good and bad reasons) it's so completely alien to Singaporeans' conception of politics, and they are all totally baffled by it.

James O'Malley:
Good morning from Japan, an island nation with an extremely high turnover of Prime Ministers.

"You worked for the Obamas, didn't you?" Leavitt said to Jones.

"Yes, I did," he said. Jones had, in fact, worked from 2009 to 2018 as a senior medical leader in the White House. At the end of his presidency, Barack Obama, a fitness fanatic rumored to allow himself precisely seven almonds a night, was 55 years old.

"Who is healthier, Obama or President Trump?" I asked.

Trump stared across the desk, making eye contact with Jones. Jones didn't hesitate.

"President Trump," he said.

When the president rests his eyes, Leavitt chimed in, he's actually "actively listening." His energy levels are so good, she claimed, that even elite members of the military can't keep up with his work schedule. "The Marine sentries who stand outside the Oval Office, they had to request more staff and bring up more Marines because the president is in the Oval Office so much," she said. "They've never had to do that before. They had to request more guys to stand by the door because they are running out of men to fill the shifts."
