Leaked letters are said to show the U.S. President's increasing frustration with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Donald Trump accuses allies in the military alliance of failing to adequately pay for their protection.

Obama Speechwriter on Trump's "Healthy Regard for Dictators"

Ben Rhodes played a key role in crafting both the Iran deal and the historic thawing in relations between the US and Cuba - and was by Obama's side on all but one of his overseas trips. Here he gives his views on the world after Obama.

Rhodes was deputy foreign policy advisor and speechwriter for the Obama administration, joining the Obama campaign as a speechwriter when he was just 29 years old.

Conservatives’ Civil War over Brexit?

"Pipe down" and "Put a sock in it" - the playground insults from senior Tories were flying on Twitter today in response to arch-Eurosceptic Jacob Rees-Mogg's warning that the Prime Minister must deliver the Brexit she promised or risk the collapse of her government.

It feels as though an out-and-out civil war is in full swing within the party as battle lines are drawn in the run-up to Friday's crucial meeting at Chequers, where Theresa May will thrash out the government's Brexit policy with her cabinet. Two Conservative MPs, leading Brexiteer John Redwood, and Simon Hoare, who earlier today tweeted that Jacob Rees-Mogg's warning to the Prime Minister was "blackmail" and "hectoring nonsense", give their views.
