And the Women’s Race goes to Oxford 🏆 What a performance on the Championship Course - every stroke counted, every second mattered. Congratulations to the Oxford crew on a stunning victory.

Ferry cancellations have skyrocketed tenfold under the SNP - a shameful failure that’s hitting island communities hardest. A Scottish Labour government will end the ferry fiasco, restore accountability and deliver the reliable lifeline services people deserve. Scotland needs change.

Pope Leo XIV has arrived in Monaco, the first time that the Principality has been graced by a visit from the Vicar of Christ.

American troops are sleeping in hotels. That is not a sentence from a Tom Clancy novel. That is where Operation Epic Fury stands right now. A New York Times report published Tuesday reveals that Iranian missile and drone strikes have left most of the 13 U.S. military installations across the Middle East effectively uninhabitable. Thousands of troops have been moved out of fortified bases into hotels, office buildings, and temporary facilities across the Gulf region and some as far away as Europe. When the war began on February 28, roughly 40,000 American troops were stationed in the region. U.S. Central Command has since scattered large numbers of them into whatever spaces could be secured on short notice. Senior military officials are calling it a "remote war." That framing deserves a moment. Nearly a month in, this is the infrastructure picture: bases that took decades and billions of dollars to build are sitting damaged and largely empty, while American personnel run a war from conference rooms and borrowed lobbies. The optics are bad. The logistics are worse. No one planned for this. That much is obvious.
