Plus as others have said, AS have said they want the Telegraph to be centre-right, which could genuinely mean a noticeable shift to the left

The ripples of war: inside the 6 March Guardian Weekly The global consequences of Trump’s big gamble. Plus Can the Louvre recover its joie de vivre?

Some weeks I head out of the office on a Friday afternoon with the uneasy feeling that our best-laid plans for next week’s Guardian Weekly magazine might not look quite the same by Monday. This was one of those weeks.

The consensus I'm getting from nearly everyone I speak to – with the notable exception of Spurs fans – is that Spurs going down would be the shot in the arm the country needs at this difficult moment #lufc

No water or electricity, and children begging in streets filled with rubbish – but this is why I won’t leave Cuba Whether you blame the US or the communist regime, there is no doubt that this is an island spiralling into tragedy

It is cope to believe this is all confected. My whole job is talking to MPs and ministers, I talk to a dozen different ones every day, I spend the week in Parliament in the same corridors, same coffee queues.

Imagine having to defend your fatally shot son from Stephen Miller's slurs that he was a "domestic terrorist" trying to "assassinate" ICE officers. This is what Trump and Trumpism has brought to the United States.
