More Trump, deep breath. Thoughts on what it means:

OK, not the best start to the day, but where does it leave us? Trump will take the US out of the Paris Agreement, again. Last time he did it there was a lot of brave talk - we'll work around America,...

First time on a train where overcrowding in one of nine carriages is given as the reason for the whole train having to run at reduced speed. Itās the 1050 from Carlisle to Euston if @AvantiWestCoast cares to explain.

Epic moment in broadcasting beautifully recounted by the legendary @lauriemargolis - Laurie, all very best to you.
In 1982, BBC journalist Laurie Margolis gave #BBCPM one its biggest exclusives ever - he broke the news that the Falklands had been invaded by Argentina. He explains to @EvanHD how he was able to confirm the invasion by intercepting radio signals from fishermen on the islands.

Competence and honesty matter in politics and they matter to British voters. @jburnmurdoch has the data to show it. #UKElection2024.
Key chart to keep in mind as the Conservatives suffer their worst ever defeat:. The Tories didnāt lose this election because they were too right wing on some issues or too left wing on others. They lost because voters of all stripes judged them to be incompetent and dishonest.

A scenario that now looks far far more plausible. A stumbling Democrat contender, a resurgent Trump and renewed pressure on the flimsy guard-rails protecting us from ever higher temperatures. MT @James_BG.
