Rishi Sunak's Ikea trip has become the internet's latest joke
Rishi Sunak spoke to Ikea workers yesterday and his visit went down like badly made furniture. The PM visited a branch in Dartford where he spoke about inflation and the economy to an audience who looked thoroughly unimpressed. He said: "I've got to make sure government is doing everything that it needs to do and that means being responsible with our borrowing. "We cannot be in a situation like this and borrow too much money because that just makes everything works. "I'd love to cut your taxes tomorrow. That's hard to do because I'm going to have to borrow more money to do it."

Meanwhile, he was confronted by one worker about the state of the NHS. Jake Robinson, 23, from Rochester, Kent, said his grandmother had to book GP appointments six weeks in advance because her surgery is so busy and Sunak said he was working on it.

Trump news – live: Trump’s legal team handed over tapes to Jack Smith as MAGA loyalists turn on each other
Donald Trump’s legal team handed over tapes of the former president’s interviews to special counsel Jack Smith as part of the investigation into the classified documents he held onto after leaving office, it has emerged. In a court filing on Wednesday, federal prosecutors began turning over evidence to Mr Trump’s legal team as the case against him heads to trial. The filing reveals that investigators collected recordings of the former president giving multiple interviews. Sources told CNN those recordings were initially given to federal prosecutors by Mr Trump’s own team. The revelation comes as the former president urged Congress on Thursday to investigate the multiple investigations into him. “Congress will hopefully now look at the ever continuing Witch Hunts and ELECTION INTERFERENCE against me on perfectly legal Boxes,” he wrote on Truth Social after the House Judiciary Committee heard testimony from former special counsel John Durham, who investigated the FBI’s probe into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Meanwhile, there appears to be trouble in MAGA-world as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert traded blows on the House floor and former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis mocked Kari Lake for “couch-surfing” at Mar-a-Lago.
