Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond speaks on Bloomberg Television about the deepening revelations that several of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's close aides placed bets on the date of the UK general election. The scandal dubbed Gamble-gate in the British media is threatening to dominate the remainder of the campaign at a time when Sunak's Conservative Party badly need to make up ground. Britain goes to the polls on July 4.
British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.

The 2024 US Presidential race intensifies. Speculation abounds over potential replacements for President Joe Biden amid increasing pressure from his party and the media to step aside after a jaw-dropping, catastrophic debate against Donald Trump last week. Among the names circulating, a game-changer is emerging: Michelle Obama. Could this be America’s worst nightmare?
I’ve said it before, and will doubtless have cause to say it again: Boris Johnson might be the single most effective political illusionist this country has ever seen. No matter how many times experience fails to live up to the promise, there still seems to be no shortage of buyers for the could-have-been king act.
Before the ink was dry on the Supreme Court’s extreme presidential immunity opinion, former President Donald Trump launched a Hail Mary to derail state cases — but it won’t work, writes Norman Eisen.
Britain’s “most tattooed mum” has called Rishi Sunak “gorgeous” and said she would “love to give him a good sandwich” after he revealed the lunchtime snack to be his favourite meal.

The ridiculous claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election was the first big lie to infect its politics. Now Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own. There are plenty of Americans who would rather vote for a dead Biden than a live Trump, but not enough to win.
The leader of the Labour Party, Keir Starmer, has been mentored by Barack Obama. The relationship is likely to continue if Starmer wins the UK election.
Joe Biden has for the first time said that he is considering ending his presidential campaign, according to reports.
Final results show widespread Labour majority as last constituencies roll in.
The presenter was accused of not treating “both candidates equally when managing the debate” by some viewers.
Rishi Sunak left the D-Day celebrations early, got caught in the rain and came under fire for some Treasury forecasts of tax rises. The Labour Party droned on about “change” while endlessly repeating some imaginary numbers about “investing” in the NHS and creating “green jobs”. Meanwhile, the Lib Dems sailed through the past six weeks with fun days out at CenterParcs.
