Brexit deal: Trump weighs in

Theresa May has two weeks to persuade the House of Commons to back her Brexit deal with the EU. So the latest comments by Donald Trump on the subject might not be regarded as particularly helpful. The US president said the agreement thrashed out in Brussels seemed "a great deal for the EU" and it might leave the UK unable to sign a trade agreement with his own country.

Mrs May took plenty of criticism from MPs following her statement on the deal on Monday. Mr Trump's intervention, writes BBC North America editor Jon Sopel, "can only be interpreted in one way - the president is siding with the prime minister's critics". Downing Street insists it's "very clear" the UK will be able to sign its own trade deals around the world after Brexit. BBC Reality Check looks at the challenges ahead.

The godfather of fake news

Christopher Blair takes a sip of his coffee. Then he carefully focuses on one of the three screens in front of him. He takes another sip before his coffee goes cold, inhales long and hard, then logs into the back end of one of his many websites.

He begins by choosing a subject. Which "lucky" politician will be on the receiving end of his attention today? Bill Clinton? Hillary Clinton? One of the Obamas? Or maybe the subject of his story won't be a person, but a policy. Gun control? Police brutality? Feminism? Anything that will push buttons.

What the papers say

"Trump sticks the boot into May" is the Daily Mail's reaction to the US president's questioning of her deal with the EU. The Daily Telegraph describes his comments as a "blow" to the PM's attempts to get her Brexit agreement through Parliament. Talking of which, Metro focuses on the "relentless attacks" faced by Mrs May as she briefed MPs on Monday. Meanwhile, the Sun leads on the PM saying she wants a TV debate with Labour's Jeremy Corbyn on the issue to take place on 9 December - two days before the Commons vote. Elsewhere, the Times leads on a family court case which saw a council invite a jailed sex offender to play a role in the future of the child of a woman he raped.
