US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy initially even refused to mention RFK Jr by name when she addressed the National Press Club in Canberra on Monday.

Despite the assurance, however, Trump pointed out he ‘obviously’ has the ‘upper hand’ and declared that he would draw the line after a certain amount of betrayal. ‘I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,’ he told Fox News Digital.

Ms Reeves unveiled an extraordinary £25billion hike in employers’ NICs in the Budget last month. The rate has been raised and the threshold at which firms must pay has been cut, with ministers adamant it was the only way to prop up public services.

Reporters could be heard calling out for President Joe Biden as world leaders at the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro gathered for a final photo, but the 81-year-old leader was a no-show. Biden was nowhere to be seen until moments after the picture was taken when photographers and reporters frantically searched for the leader of the free world until one cameraman spotted him behind a nearby palm tree. In footage shot by CSPAN there appeared to be utter confusion as dignitaries were unsure whether to leave the risers erected for the photo or to stay put and wait for Biden to return.

The reading in Braemar was described as the coldest Britain has been at this time of the year since 1998.
