I interviewed President Trump overnight on the telephone. All the details on all @SkyNews platforms. And listen to the Trump 100 pod. ON THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP & TRADE DEAL “It's sad… and we gave them a good trade deal. Better than I had to. Which can always be changed.” ON UK ENERGY & IMMIGRATION POLICIES “I love your country and I would love to see it succeed. But if you have bad immigration policies and bad energy policies, you have the worst of both. You can't succeed, not possible.” ON STARMER “I like Starmer, but I think he's made a tragic mistake in closing the North Sea oil. You see your energy prices are the highest in the world. And I think he's made a tragic mistake on immigration.” ON KING CHARLES “He's a great gentleman, a friend of mine. He's a fantastic person.”

@markaustintv Agreed! Shame you just missed out on that category criteria...

This year’s Special Award goes to “one of the finest journalists of his generation,” said the jury, @BBCSteveR, @BBCNews’ Russia Editor. “Our media industry is often criticised for not sticking with stories, for moving on too quickly to the next breaking news. But not our winner of this award. He has demonstrated devotion to his patch and a depth of expertise that is unrivalled. He has chosen to base himself in a country that he loves but nevertheless places him under daily intimidation and danger” #RTSAwards
