Argentinian president Javier Milei looked more like a rock star than a politician on stage, as he sings his version of the song Panic Show, by band La Renga, ahead of the launch of his latest book. Supporters enjoyed the 'fiesta of freedom' but critics have called it an attempt to distract from economic woes exacerbated by Milei’s austerity drive.

The former health secretary was probably delighted at the general election news, confident that Thursday had become a 'good day to bury bad news'. Effectively turning Matheson into a general election is an act of self-sabotage so spectacular it makes you wonder if Swinney went rogue as it's hard to imagine any adviser would have backed it. Rishi Sunak's general election announcement was given to the backdrop of a loudspeaker nearby playing D:Ream's 'Things Can Only Get Better' on Wednesday.
