The paperback edition out today, with new chapter on Trump, Musk and Farage (which sounds like a dodgy law firm…..)

Trump: So Please raise your right hand: I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States

Crowd: I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States…

Trump: I'm going to try and cheat like hell like they do.

Hope those knuckleheads realise they’re acting as fundraisers for the brilliant work the @RNLI does. To the volunteers risking their lives at sea to save ours, thank you

@BBCSteveR @red_loeb @bbctms Yeah. As has often been noted, I talk a load of old nonsense

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

@AnneHitchman @SpursOfficial Thank you….

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

New Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh tells @TheNewsAgents there is no hypocrisy in her sending her children to private schools whilst voting to impose VAT on school fees:

“I found the debate around the VAT exemption really bizarre…I know that the VAT exemption has been difficult for some parents.

But I still believe that at a time when budgets are really tight it is the right thing for the state to decide that we're not going to cross-subsidise parents that do make that choice to send their children to independent schools and we're going to put that money into the state sector where the majority of kids go. That is the right policy.”

Really hope the Ottawa government declare that Lake Michigan is now Lake Canada. This is all utterly puerile

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Lake Ontario is renamed to LAKE AMERICA! 🇺🇸

Almost never feel sad about celebrity deaths- but felt so moved all day today about Dolly Parton. What a woman. The story of America. We’ve recorded a special ep of News Agents about her politics and why she- uniquely- transcended even the bitterest partisan divides. In your feeds at 5pm.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Wait until Nigel finds out that these people are in Braintree because Suella Braverman and Rob Jenrick opened an asylum accommodation centre in my constituency.

Where are Rob and Suella now?

Video of fire on baggage container with luggage to be loaded onto BA585 just now at Milan Malpensa. Smart move to get the other containers out of the way before fire spread. If cause was lithium battery glad fire was there and not on plane

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Suspect this might delay BA585 out of Milan Malpensa. Glad I didn’t check any bags…. @British_Airways

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

If your immediate reaction to a man’s death is to try to use it to make a political point and further your own argument, whatever that argument is, take a breath and don’t. Contrary to popular belief not everything has to be a political football and we don’t have to have a partisan “hot take” on everything, especially not something as tragic as this.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

You really think it’s as clear cut as that? Sure Cambridge have questions to answer. But this became obsessive and ugly bloodsport for certain sections of the press, that was about way more than plagiarism.

[Harry Cole @MrHarryCole]

On Arday, if it is as claimed…

The only thing that kept the horrible sorry saga going was the wilfully blind defence offered up and the vicious smears on anyone questioning the very obvious.

Cambridge and its guilty defenders could have investigated this all months ago, but instead turned the cops on journalists and dug in.

They had zero regard for a duty for care in what was obviously a deeply disturbed situation and just focused on fighting their culture war.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Well that should sort it all out….

[Kellie Meyer @KellieMeyerNews]

President Trump says pretty soon he’ll be declaring the “Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.”

Iran says it controls the Strait.
