A photo of the front cover of issue 1673 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “HUNGARY: ORBAN LOSES HISTORIC ELECTION.” The central image shows Viktor Orbán standing on stage alongside JD Vance, both raising their arms in front of a cheering crowd with Hungarian and US flags in the background. A speech bubble reads, “Who says America can’t achieve regime change?” A strapline at the bottom reads “HUGE TRIUMPH FOR MAGA (SURELY MAGYAR? ED.).”
Hungary: Orban loses historic election
The new Private Eye is out now.

To be fair, if your minivan has a jet engine and wings, an airbag is unlikely to help much in a crash.

A federal judge dismisses President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story on a bawdy 50th birthday card he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein.
Good to see Martin Brundle trashing reports of his retirement from commentary from spurious X accounts as "utter clickbait nonsense".
Of course people should have the sense not to believe drivel posted anonymously online in the first place but some will never learn.

The Spanish Grand Prix has a new home this year - but will it see as exciting a debut as Jerez did 40 years ago today?
Ayrton Senna pipped Nigel Mansell to victory at Jerez by a hundredth of a second in a thrilling finish:

The government should summon the US Ambassador over Trump’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
This reckless plan will only escalate the crisis, risk collapsing the ceasefire, and mean more pain for British families and businesses already facing higher prices at the pump.
It can only be a good thing for peace, prosperity and liberty than Putin and Trump's ally in Hungary has lost.

It would be logical and fair to link road vehicle tax to the vehicle's weight and size instead of just its emissions.

The Telegraph putting up a false headline is hardly surprising these days (fake stories about middle class families being unable to afford a fifth holiday, anyone?), but really.

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...
Surely all that's left now is for Verstappen to reunite with Lambiase and various other ex-Red Bull staff at McLaren?
He'd even get to wear orange. It would be perfect except for the unfortunate detail that he'd rather race a lawnmower than #F1's ill-conceived new cars.

Trump declaring a war crime
This is clearly a war crime. Shocking and inhumane. From someone who is clearly deranged. The UK must stand up for international law.
Not in my name.
The US need to invoke regime change now.
Donald Trump’s words are reckless and dangerous.
Talk of “civilisation dying tonight” is not leadership, it is a march towards a war with no end.
Targeting civilians would breach the Article III of the Geneva Convention. We must stand for peace, protect lives and work with allies for stability.
