Trump has admitted to probation officials he has a gun in Florida. A convicted felon possessing a firearm is a felony.

If he now gets charged on a gun violation, it would just add to the craziness of the last few weeks.

Daily Mail’s Dan Hodges says Sunak’s statement that the civil service had independently costed Labour's tax plans at £2,000 “was the most blatant lie I've seen in an election campaign.

“This is going to have serious implications for the rest of the campaign. The lie was too blatant.”

A constituency where tactical voting can have effect:

TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Former constituency of Tory Minister Greg Clark, this stands a good chance of being a win for the Lib Dems Mike Martin with Labour and Green support. No Conservative selected so far.

And the Conservatives are now having to mock-up ‘real people’ for Sunak to meet. He took questions at an event today but they were from Conservative councillors disguised by hi-vis jackets.

This was an awful start to a campaign. The speech was insincere, he didn’t take his speech with him when he finished and he didn’t say thank you. He was drowned out by things can only get better and the rain. His suit was absolutely drenched!

UK voter ID laws - brought in by the Conservatives to game the system in their favour - looks like it’s working as planned. A new poll shows it could be the difference in several marginal seats, allowing top Tories to cling on.

Laura #Kuenssberg gives Dowden an easy ride even though she claims she has evidence he’s lying&doesn’t push an inch yet can’t help herself ripping into Lammy through the whole interview. Her bias has always been obvious but it’s out of control&will only get worse once the campaign starts #BBCSunday

Good god, but this new series of Mandy is making me laugh like a drain. Above all, Diane’s direction is so bloody *comedy*, so unashamedly about making jokes work. Wish more stuff was this happy about being funny. It’s a gorgeous little beacon. Cracking. Big thumbs up.
