A few weeks ago, arguing against the shamrock ceremony in the White House, I recommended a three-word riposte instead. Schools are being forced to close in Bangladesh once a week because of Donald Trump. The real Donald Trump, says Glasser, is to be seen not in the self-interested White House sources but in his late night rants and early morning posts on social media. The sleepless Donald Trump is the true Donald Trump. Maga’s red lines were the “forever wars” and the Epstein files until Trump obliterated the lines – and Maga saluted.

Jasveen Sangha, who pleaded guilty last year to selling a fatal dose of ketamine to US actor Matthew Perry, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday. Known as the “Ketamine Queen”, Sangha is the fifth defendant to take a plea deal and admit guilt in the case. Perry died aged 54 in October 2023 and officials ruled that the surgical anaesthetic ketamine was the primary cause of his death. Sangha (42) admitted to providing the actor with some 50 vials of ketamine before his death, while Fleming acted as a middleman. Matthew Perry's mother Suzanne Perry and stepfather Keith Morrison arrive for the sentencing hearing of Jasveen Sangha in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

There, on Monday afternoon - positioned in neat rows, some engines still spinning - stood a small fleet of private jets. The official hospitality brochure for 2026 reportedly includes golf clinics, 'premier' tee times at local courses, wine tasting, chats with Masters champions and an inhouse chef. At Augusta airport this week, they range from $150 to $4,000, depending on the aircraft's size. The number of private jets at Augusta Airport for the Masters is absurd. 'Typically, people will arrive five to 10 minutes prior to their departure time when flying private,' Loff explains.

It is important to separate out the long-term re-equipment programmes for the DF, from the short-term security requirements for the six-month Irish EU presidency period, starting on July 1. When the last Irish presidency was conducted, in 2013, the security threats were very manageable. Asked about security for the Irish presidency, he said he had no doubt that Ireland would mount an effective security operation. Could we link up with the French navy to secure our coastline during Ireland's EU presidency?

When no “help” turned up, Iranians became antagonistic towards Trump and sceptical of his promises.
