Two elderly fellow passengers reacted to the attempted assassination by blaming liberals and progressives in general, and in particular Michal Šimečka, an opposition politician and former vice-president of the European parliament. One passenger called for the death penalty to be reinstated and order to be restored.</p><p>At that point, the circumstances of the shooting were entirely unclear, information was partial, and it was too early to condemn or point the finger at anyone.

But neither the president – nor Starmer – can match Trump’s gift for narrative</p><p>The smile was the giveaway. Asked whether he was “just a copycat” of Tony Blair <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzQ5CkQvq50">at the launch</a> of his Blair-style pledge card on Thursday, Keir Starmer positively glowed. He was delighted with the comparison, which the entire exercise was surely designed to encourage. Blair “won three elections in a row”, Starmer said, beaming. Of course, he’s thrilled to be likened to a serial winner. And yet the more apt parallel is also a cautionary one. It’s not with Starmer’s long-ago predecessor, but with his would-be counterpart across the Atlantic: Joe Biden.</p><p>It’s natural that the sight of a Labour leader, a lawyer from north London, on course for Downing Street after a long era of Tory rule, would have people digging out the Oasis CDs and turning back the clock to 1997: Labour election victories are a rare enough commodity to prompt strong memories. But, as many veterans of that period are quick to point out, the circumstances of 2024 are very different. The UK economy was humming then and it’s parlous now. Optimism filled the air then, while too few believe genuine change is even possible now. And politics tended to be about material matters then, tax and public services, rather than dominated by polarising cultural wars as it is now.</p><p>Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian columnist</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/17/keir-starmer-joe-biden-donald-trump">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/keir-starmer">Keir Starmer</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/joebiden">Joe Biden</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/us-politics">US politics</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/politics">Politics</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/democrats">Democrats</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/labour">Labour</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/uk">UK news</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/us-news">US news</category> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 16:26:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/17/keir-starmer-joe-biden-donald-trump</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/3a73ec18ac62491518cc7478b382d7c994eb6944/0_172_6192_3715/master/6192.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=82929e4b59ecfe1b7324780e28417304"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Leon Neal/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/3a73ec18ac62491518cc7478b382d7c994eb6944/0_172_6192_3715/master/6192.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=4d5261c432766dd15ce28333a71c7bca"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Leon Neal/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Jonathan Freedland</dc:creator> <dc:date>2024-05-17T16:26:07Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>Indiana Pacers force Game 7 with dominant win over New York Knicks</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/17/indiana-pacers-new-york-knicks-nba-playoff-report</link> <description><ul><li>Siakam has 25 points as Pacers beat Knicks 116-103 in Game 6</li><li>Winner-take-all Game 7 is Sunday afternoon in New York</li></ul><p>Pascal Siakam had 25 points and seven rebounds, Myles Turner added 17 points and eight rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers turned the tables on the New York Knicks with a 116-103 victory on Friday night to even the Eastern Conference semi-finals at 3-3.</p><p>The decisive Game 7 will be played Sunday at Madison Square Garden.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/17/indiana-pacers-new-york-knicks-nba-playoff-report">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/nba">NBA</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/new-york-knicks">New York Knicks</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/indiana-pacers">Indiana Pacers</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/basketball">Basketball</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/us-sport">US sports</category> <pubDate>Sat, 18 May 2024 03:46:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/17/indiana-pacers-new-york-knicks-nba-playoff-report</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/76089a76b5da044ef9818846d9fa5d896c83e131/0_279_4582_2750/master/4582.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=b25c65d768e8d19ee599f23abf5c2599"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Nathaniel S Butler/NBAE/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/76089a76b5da044ef9818846d9fa5d896c83e131/0_279_4582_2750/master/4582.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=8fc725f91ee7bb1b77da631ab8d1757a"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Nathaniel S Butler/NBAE/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Agencies</dc:creator> <dc:date>2024-05-18T03:46:07Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>US PGA 2024: Scheffler hits 66 after arrest, Schauffele leads – as it happened</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2024/may/17/us-pga-championship-2024-second-round-live-golf-updates-scores</link> <description><p>Scottie Scheffler returned to Valhalla after his arrest and hit a five-under-par 66 to sit three shots off the halfway leader, Xander Schauffele</p><p><strong>Sky Sports commentator Wayne Riley has been on the driving range to gauge opinion among the early starters.</strong> “The energy is zapped,” he reports.

And given that’s what he’s paid for, you might think it ought to be enough. But the truth is that ever since Scheffler rose to the top of the world rankings in March 2022 the game has wanted more from him. Trouble is, besides his faith, his family, and his attachment to a beaten-up old 2012 GMC Yukon, he does not have much else to give. Whisper it, but the truth is that a lot&nbsp;of people in the game worry that&nbsp;Scheffler, who many reckon is the best player of his generation, is just a little bit too boring to carry the sport.</p><p>And then he decided to take a detour into the westbound lane on his way through the gates to Valhalla on Friday morning. Last month Scheffler explained that he believed his <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/apr/15/scottie-scheffler-storms-to-masters-victory-after-ice-cool-final-round">victory at the Masters</a> was meant to be because God had laid out “today’s plans many years ago, and I could do nothing to mess them up”.
