That's one congressman's response to the jaw-dropping news that Trump officials discussed war plans in a group chat on the Signal app. It's an old military acronym meaning 'F***ed up beyond recognition" or "…beyond repair". Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's editor in chief, reports he was accidentally added to an encrypted messaging group. The conversation appeared to include vice president JD Vance, defence secretary Pete Hegseth and national security adviser Mike Waltz.

Could US nuclear power takeover replace the minerals deal? By David Blevins, Sky correspondent, in Washington DCThe readout of the call from President Zelenskyy was conciliatory, repeatedly thanking Donald Trump for military support and for his peace efforts.

SIR Keir Starmer tonight insisted he trusted Donald Trump but warned him Russia would never stop without America protecting Europe. On his way to Washington for the White House summit with the President, the Prime Minister reckoned there were no issues between them.
