Watch at the US Supreme Court on Thursday, 25 April, as it hears arguments by Donald Trump that he is immune from criminal prosecution for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Justices will hear the former president’s appeal after lower courts rejected his request to be protected from four election-related criminal charges because he was serving as president when he took the actions that led to the indictment obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

The Republican candidate challenging Joe Biden, the first former US president to be criminally prosecuted, has pleaded not guilty in this case and three other criminal cases he faces.

Other cases include an ongoing trial on New York state charges related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 US election.

Mr Trump will not be attending the Supreme Court today as he will be in a Manhattan courtroom in the New York case.

Voter apathy will unleash a Labour government far more dangerous than many realise
As nights go, the local elections heralded a great one for Labour. Think after-work drinks, kissing the colleague you’ve flirted with for months and ending up back at theirs. That was Labour in the early hours of Friday morning while the Tories were left looking like the halitosis-ridden bloke who’s worked at the office for years that no one wants to talk to, let alone snog.

The great tragedy of Sunak’s premiership has just been exposed
The Conservative defeat this week could have been worse, but that’s not saying much. The re-election of Tory mayor Ben Houchen in Tees Valley, winning the smallest majority in the hotly contested Harlow council election – these are the saving graces for a party that lost hundreds of councillors and another MP this week. There were many signs that the 2019 coalition that propelled the Tories to victory has come fully undone.

If the Brits had anything to say, they should talk to Michel Barnier.
