Listening to an interview of a woman whose husband was taken by ICE. It’s very like the family stories I heard about Kristallnacht, but without the broken glass, and spread out rather than on one day. People desperate to get family members back but no idea how, and opposition at every point.

P&O has a turnover of almost £1bn. So why have they just hired an audit firm with four employees? It’s deeply, impossibly, weird. I spoke to an auditor at a firm with 200 employees who said he’d never dream of acting for a company of that size. So what’s going on? www.itv.com/news/2025-06...
