Everything that Trump does, without fail, every power grab and outlandish declaration, is designed to make him and his plutocrat mates a stack of cash. Always ask: how will he make a profit out of this, to uncover his real motives. Follow the money

Commentators seem to be watching a different game to me. One of the poorest Aussie touring teams I can remember, despite all the stars, and we never seriously stretched them.

#CelebrityTraitors If Nick and Joe can persuade Cat that they think she is a Faithful, they win. Round 1 they go for Alan and Cat may then wobble. With Alan gone, they go for David. With David gone, they then go for Cat. Guaranteed path to victory

If Andrew doesn’t escape by horse tonight and board a boat to France, where he will attempt to raise an army against his older brother, then he is more or less admitting the accusations are all true. I’m sorry but that’s just the way it works.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Beautiful photographs illustrating a sad story: “We estimate the population at fewer than 20,000 individuals. Perhaps even fewer than 15,000. They are now critically endangered.”

Bonobos transformed how we think about animal societies. Can we save the last of the ‘hippy apes’?
They are peaceful, female-led and use sex in everyday interactions. Now a new conservation scheme could offer a lifeline to our critically endangered close relatives living on the Congo river

So, since all the clever pundits excitedly said that the main beneficiaries of the Arsenal v City draw were Liverpool, Liverpool haven't won. It's mid October. Stop handing trophies out so early in the season

That was the best finals week for Masterchef ever. Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy it, including John Torode. And Anna Haugh was a perfect choice, really added something. The decision to show the series totally justified in my view
