England's Kane confirms golf outing with Trump, praises president's game ... Speaking on Friday on the eve of their World Cup quarter-final match against Norway, Kane confirmed the round took place in Palm Beach, Florida, about 18 months ago. ... Trump had complimented the Bayern Munich forward on his Truth Social platform following England's 3-2 last-16 victory over Mexico, writing: "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!"
Rachel Reeves has similarly been trying to encourage savings here, although if she (or her successor) is not careful, it will just mean more invested in US stocks rather than British shares.
These sorts of move might also increase pressure on government bonds which is not necessarily good news.
I'm currently on holiday but fel obliged to comment on Ann Widdicombe.
It is entirely possible to disagree with just about everything that someone says an believes in, yet to have the utmost respect for them.
Ann was a complete one - off.
She was utterly transparent, what you saw was what you got.
Her death in this way was a tragedy.
It would be a small crumb of comfort to find out that it was perpetrated by whoever on grounds that were nothing at all to do with Politics. That seems probably the case.
She lived in an area of great beauty and almost complete isolation.
She should be remembered fondly as a genuine person the like of which we will not see again.

The following day, Trump revealed the pair had played golf together.
"I think Kane is a great player," Trump said. "I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He's a good golfer. He's really great."
