Donald Trump hails 'unstoppable force' if two leaders unite

He believes they would make a "terrific" team. Donald Trump has urged Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to combine to prevent Jeremy Corbyn taking Britain to "bad places". The US president said the Prime Minister and the Brexit Party leader would be an "unstoppable force" if they could agree a general election pact. "I wish you two guys could get together," Mr Trump said in an interview on Mr Farage's radio show. "I think it would be a great thing." Despite backing Mr Johnson to get Brexit done, Mr Trump warned that his EU deal would have to be changed if he wanted to secure a free trade deal with America. The interview preceded the Brexit Party's election launch today, at which Mr Farage will reveal how many candidates he will field, his strategy and whether he will stand to be an MP. From the royals to jihadists, read everything Mr Trump said in the wide-ranging conversation. And Matt looks to a historical figure for today's cartoon.

Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn launched his campaign by declaring class war on the rich, saying the UK should not have billionaires. Prominent business leaders said he was "clueless" and had led "a narrow life". Michael O'Dwyer and Lucy Burton report on the backlash to the Labour leader's attack on capitalism.
