@lastweektonight.com Hello Last Week Tonight team. Any ideas how we can continue watching in the UK after last week's HBO Max launch? The latest episode hasn't made it to NOW TV, where HBO Max is supposed to come at no extra cost?!

The President who formerly claimed that he was the one who had forced Netanyahu’s hand (after Rubio let slip that Bibi had forced Trump’s) now makes it clear that Israel is, in fact, in the driving seat.

Farage talking Chagos with Trump over dinner at Mar-A-Lago last night is your latest reminder that official U.S. policy is to grease the wheels for "patriotic European parties" to take power across the continent. An astonishing moment, nonetheless.

To anyone thinking JD Vance can stand for President in 2028 with Trump as nominee for Vice President, and then just resign, you're forgetting the 12th Amendment: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
