Politics: When the game never ends, and the score is anyone’s guess
Politicians in sports are a beautiful disaster, like watching a three-legged race where everyone insists on being in charge. You’ve got them showing up to a soccer match in loafers, arguing with the ref about “voter intent” when they miss a goal. One guy filibusters the game by holding the ball and giving a speech on infrastructure, while another forms a committee to investigate why he wasn’t passed to. Meanwhile, the coach is just trying to explain offside without triggering a parliamentary debate. It's less about winning the game and more about spinning the loss into a campaign ad: “I didn’t score, but I fought hard for every inch of that turf—just like I’ll fight for you.”

The US President was invited for an unprecedented second state visit to Britain, with provisional details including a round of golf at Turnberry and hosting at Balmoral Castle. Although not directly linked to tariff talks, some officials hope the royal itinerary will facilitate constructive discussions between the UK and US on tariffs, which are set to come into force.
