Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

OK, here goes. The Tour de France. Honestly, watching it on TV when I was a kid, it felt like something that happened in a different universe. I dreamt of racing it, of winning it, but I never for a second thought I would. Kids from Cardiff don't ride the Tour.

Deserved acclaim for both the Lionesses and the Kerry Football team, but can we also just acknowledge how great the last stage of Tour de France™ was yesterday? And if this the last time we have it on @itvsport, then Ned Boulting 🏳️‍⚧️ and David Millar et al left on a high. Thanks lads.
