Even in office, he has been relentless in his pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The reality of his second term couldn’t be starker.
He has ordered attacks across 13 countries in as many months, with operations spanning three continents, covering the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Nick Timothy, the Conservative shadow justice secretary, labelled it “an act of domination... straight from the Islamist playbook”. In response, Sir Keir Starmer told Tory leader Kemi Badenoch that Timothy should be sacked, while Reform’s Nigel Farage gave the MP his support. Ed Cumming, Senior Features Writer, reports.

Plus, Charles Moore: Public prayer isn’t just a matter of devotion, for Islamists it’s about domination ➤ | |  | | Sienna Miller in the new Charlotte Tilbury advert | | Sienna Miller was 31 weeks pregnant when we met in a very luxurious suite at London’s Corinthia hotel to discuss her latest collaboration with Charlotte Tilbury, writes Lisa Armstrong, Head of Fashion. Glam or not, it was the end of a long day of interviews and, with her third baby due imminently, she was tired. I expected our chat to primarily be about the new Tilbury tinted lip balms. However, it roamed widely: the challenges of raising children in the glare of social media, her own battles with intrusion, unreal beauty standards in Hollywood, how she wants to be like her new friend Celia Imrie and what she’s reading.
She even told me the sex of her unborn child, although later – understandably – asked me not to reveal it. For all her early battles with scrutiny, she’s still one of the least guarded, most natural people I’ve interviewed, which makes her a joy of a subject.

A fee restructure unveiled earlier this month proved deeply unpopular with customers, and on Thursday and Friday, those who hadn’t yet moved their money elsewhere found that they couldn’t log in to their accounts. One investor estimated this had cost him more than £10,000 in profit from planned trades he was unable to make. Is this the final straw for the investment giant? Joe Wright, Senior Money Writer, investigates.

The departments of state are hamstrung by diversity, equity and inclusion, no one is held accountable for poor performance, a sick-note and working-from-home culture has become endemic, and there is a chronic lack of real-world experience. The worst thing? Union intransigence makes reform almost impossible. Continue reading ➤ | | | The former footballer opens up about his near-death experience | | “I thought I was a goner.

| Spring salads to prepare for lunch | ‘Crazy’ carrot and grain salad |  | Diana Henry The Telegraph’s award-winning cookery writer | I once had a conversation with Nigella Lawson in which she explained the irresistible urge to cook for people. She described herself as a “feeder” and assumed I was too. I was ashamed to admit that I wasn’t. My children were much younger and I often felt that feeding them was something to get through. Now that I cook for them as adults, there has been a definite shift. I feel that cooking is a continuation of my care and that’s very important to me. One of my sons works in a trauma hospital and takes in food – no Pret for him – every day. I can’t cut his hours, but I can feed him. It’s not really lunch al desko, it’s more lunch on the hoof.
Although he protests, I like making this food. Soups or interesting salads with griddled chicken are perfect, and the weekend gives me time to get ahead. The salads need to be sturdy, grain or pulse-based rather than leafy. We both love this “crazy” salad, which can be eaten over several days (just add the leaves and pomegranate seeds daily). | Tuna, roast pepper, tomato and white bean salad | Other salads are assembly jobs and made, mostly, from store-cupboard ingredients. As the weather gets warmer this tuna, tomato and bean combination is perfect. | Spanish lamb with cumin, ginger and honey | Sometimes I make dishes that can be reheated at work – a “proper” meal – which means casseroles and braises or pasta with a sauce. This Spanish lamb cooked with cumin, ginger and honey goes into an airtight container with brown rice. You can replace the broad beans with white beans or chickpeas.
Rather late in life I’m discovering that I am, in fact, a “feeder”.
