Trump warns 'there'll be no Europe left' before immediately hitting golf course
Donald Trump is following up his dire warnings about the future of Europe by cracking on with the real business of his trip to Scotland: a few rounds of golf. The US President landed at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire yesterday evening for his first UK visit since returning to the White House in January. It took only a few minutes after stepping off Air Force One for Trump to begin predicting doom for the West due to immigration. He told reporters: 'On immigration, you better get your act together. You're not going to have Europe anymore, you've got to get your act together.' The President claimed nobody had entered the US last month before describing the situation faced by Europe as a 'horrible invasion'. His British mini-break will begin with a day of golf at his Turnberry course on the Ayrshire coast. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sent every Wednesday. Sign up here. More serious discussions with leaders including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Scottish First Minister John Swinney and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will come on Sunday and Monday. Police in Scotland are bracing for a major operation as protesters begin to gather at a number of spots Trump is expected to visit on his brief tour. The presidential motorcade, containing more than two dozen vehicles, passed a small protest on its way into Turnberry yesterday evening but demonstrations are expected to swell today.

Scottish Secretary Ian Murray, who met the President at Prestwick just after he arrived at around 8.30pm yesterday, said Trump's first words after stepping off the plane were: 'It's great to be here, I always love standing on the soil of Scotland.' Murray added: 'I said, 'I hope you're looking forward to a bit of downtime with some golf this weekend', and he said, 'Yes'. 'And I said, 'Well, we've whipped up a bit of a wind for you to make it a bit more competitive', and he went, 'I'm looking forward to it'.' Trump is expected to meet with von der Leyen tomorrow in an effort to thrash out a trade deal between the EU and the US. More Trending The EU has been one of the biggest targets of the tariff campaign from the White House since dramatic new trade measures were announced at the beginning of April. Starmer is understood to be travelling to Scotland on Monday for a meeting with the President, where the finer details of the UK's trade deal with the US are likely to be discussed. Speaking at Prestwick yesterday, Trump said: 'I like your Prime Minister, he's slightly more liberal than I am – as you probably heard – but he's a good man. He got a trade deal done.' He also suggested the meeting would be taking place this evening, which is not believed to be accurate.

'I took £550 luxury train to Edinburgh for Royal Family site – but I was left torn'
Reporter Lucy Marshall felt like she went back in time as she rode the Northern Belle train last week. She shared her experience after paying a hefty price for the luxury experience from Yorkshire to Edinburgh It's 8am on a Thursday morning and bag pipes can be heard around Wakefield Westgate station as a sea of mothers, daughters, grandparents and loved up couples could be seen dressed up to the nines on the platform awaiting the Northern Belle train. Steam bellows out of the train before coming to a halt. Passengers beam as train staff, dressed in smart, traditional railway uniform roll out branded red carpets and greet guests as they board the luxurious carriages named after British castles or stately homes around the UK. I feel like a Royal Family member and can't wait for my first sip of champagne. As a regular train traveller - who more than often ends up with cancelled journeys, rowdy passengers or delays - I couldn't wait to get a taste of this luxurious experience that I often see celebrities and influencers raving about on social media. So what better time than for my sister's 30th birthday to enjoy such a treat. Loved ones had also shared stories of how "amazing" the train is and insist it is a must-try. But while I was excited, priced at a whopping £550 per person, my expectations were high. The deluxe train takes passengers on rides to racecourses, castles, seaside towns, and more. We were travelling from West Yorkshire to Edinburgh, where we would also experience a tour of the Royal Yatch Britannia. The train picked up passengers from Huddersfield, Wakefield and York. It was due to also stop at Leeds but due to a fault [shock] this stop was taken off the pick up list. After a wonderful greeting, I was seated in the Harlech carriage - the last one. If you are with a group, you will be put in a four booth seat, while couples were sat at a two-seater table at the other side. We also loved that a magician came round and performed tricks which left us totally baffled and wowed. The views from the train up to Scotland were amazing to see and I also observed the toilets were clean and enjoyed the White Company hand cream and luxury of using cotton hand towels instead of tissue or a dryer. Four-hour stop in Edinburgh After arriving at Edinburgh station, stuff with champagne and delicious food, we got on a a private transfer from Waverley Station to Leith, before our tour of the Royal Britannia. For some 40 years, the magnificent Royal Yacht Britannia cruised round the world carrying the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh on 968 State visits. They sailed more than a million miles, entertaining impressed prime ministers, presidents and foreign monarchs, while keeping the flag flying for Great Britain, before it stopped sailing in 1997. It was also used for a pre-wedding party in July, 2011 as the extended Royal Family joined Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall for a cocktail party on board. I loved seeing the staff quarters on board and we could not get over the size of the bed that the Queen and Prince Phillip would stay in. The beds looked like they were made for children. It was totally fascinating and we had a hand held phone which provided informative information. I loved hearing about the Queen's favourite places on board and seeing the dining room where they held important dinners. If you are a royal fan, keen sailor or love history, you will really enjoy it. Those on board the Northern Belle who weren't keen on this spent the four hour break from the train exploring Scotland's capital city instead. Six-course meal and evening experience The Northern Belle looks even more beautiful at night time as the lamps inside make it look magical. We got back on the train for more champagne before a sumptuous six-course dinner with fine wines on our memorable journey home. Then we ordered our three main courses at the start of the journey, as well as selecting the bottle of wine we would share to accompany each course and our selection of port to go with the cheese course. I opted for the Lishman's of Ilkley Ham, Hock Terrain, followed by the Terroir et Saisons slow-braised daube, and finished off with Eton Mess of Annabel Strawberries. While waiting for a main course we enjoyed a selection of canapés - including Yorkshire Asparagus Donut, British Raj Chicken, and Royal Siberian Baerii Caviar. The caviar canape was by far my favourite; it was salty and delicious. I couldn't quite believe how amazing the quality of food was on a train. Haven eaten in plenty of high end and Michelin-starred restaurants, this meal was up there thanks to the fantastic presentation, incredible flavours, and quality. But the star of the show was yet to come - the cheeseboard. Oh my, the size of the board was as big as the tables. It was simply a cheeselover's dream. We had the choice of Batch Clothbound Cheddar, Duke of Wellington Blue, Flat Capper Brie and Sheffield Forge. Of course I tried them all. There was also a choice of different crackers, jams and chutneys. Around this time, a two-man band came around and played music at each seats. This was super fun and got everyone clapping together on the train which was really sweet. While fabulous, they only did one song at each seat. Throughout the rest of the journey both travelling to and from Edinburgh there was no music. So I think considering it is listed as part of it they could have the band play for longer or put on some classical music on in the background. The evening was finished off with us ordering espresso and porn star martinis. I was shocked not all drinks were including within the price. While it was great to shared a bottle of wine, and that is enough, throughout the rest of the long journey if you want a drink you have to pay extra for it. To be honest I think this is pretty appalling when you are paying £550 I think the price should cover all drinks for the day. Overall I absolutely loved this experience and was totally wowed. It has also made me want to try other fancy train rides too. It's a brilliant way to not only enjoy luxury, spend a long period of time having fun with friends, a partner or family, but it also allows you to see new places. While I think it is totally justified it's an expensive experience, I do think £350-£400 would be a more appropriate amount for what we got on the day. If they included all drinks and provided more entertainment I believe it would be worth the full price. But would I ride it again? Absolutely.

Andy Brown began windsurfing on Loch Insh, now he's world champion
But it's the latter where Glaswegian Andy Brown began a windsurfing journey that's seen him sail all the way to the top of the world. Earlier this month, Brown made history by becoming iQFOiL windsurfing world champion. It was a remarkable achievement for someone who was up against men who hail from nations in which windsurfing is a far more mainstream sport than in Scotland and his victory has, he hopes, set him on a path that will lead all the way to Olympic gold. Brown has long been a fan of what he calls 'niche sports'. His first love was not football which so dominates his home city but trapezing over water, which he spent most of his afternoons as a child practicing at the Western Baths in Drumchapel. With opportunities to make a career out of trapezing unsurprisingly limited in his home country, Brown's attentions soon turned to windsurfing, for which he'd found a love after trying it at a summer camp aged just 10. In the early days, Brown may have been operating on a relatively low level but he quickly became aware of quite how thrilling a sport windsurfing can be as one's abilities progress and that, he admits, was a major attraction for him. 'When you're 10 years old, you're not going super-fast but I saw the older guys doing tricks and at the top level, you can reach about 31 knots (over 35mph) which is pretty fast and I really liked the look of that,' the 25-year-old says. "It's a great sport in that you're out on the water all day and at my local club, there was a good bunch of guys and a great coach so I just really enjoyed it right from the start.' Brown progressed through the ranks, going from club competitions through to Scottish, British and then international events. Silverware at the Youth World Championships highlighted his potential and although his early years as a professional brought him considerable success, it wasn't a patch on what he achieved earlier this month at the World Championships. After a competitive battle with Frenchman Tom Arnoux, Brown came out on top to take the world title and the Dorset-based Scot admits that although his hopes had been relatively high going into the World Championships in Aarhus in Denmark, becoming world champion was well beyond what he'd ever imagined achieving. Andy Brown won his world title in Aarhus (Image: Sailing Energy / iQfoil Class) 'Going into the Worlds, my confidence was pretty high and I was hoping for a top five performance. Top five would have been a bit of a dream so to actually win was just incredible,' says Brown, whose celebrations for becoming world champion have been relatively tame - merely a few trips to the pub. 'Anyone in the top 15 in the world could probably win these major competitions because it's very small margins in this sport. It's about doing everything perfectly in the build-up and then everything going your way on the day. 'It's my best World Champs result ever by far - I was fifth in 2021, but last year I finished in the 30s so when I realised I'd won this one, my main feeling initially was shock. It felt pretty surreal and I didn't really believe it.' Andy Brown with his gold medal (Image: Sailing Energy / iQfoil Class) Brown has been a full-time windsurfer since 2017 and his career trajectory has not, he admits, been smooth. But throughout even his greatest disappointments, there was one thing that kept him going and the bank of experience he's accumulated over the years went a considerable way to helping him claim his maiden world title, and will, he hopes, help him successfully defend it on home waters when the 2026 World Championships are held in Weymouth and Portland on the south coast of England next summer. 'I've definitely not had the smoothest path to this point. I've had some good results but I've also had some pretty bad results along the way as well, so it's been quite a journey,' he says. 'But what has always kept me going is how much I love doing what I'm doing. If I didn't love it as much as I do, I would have stopped a long time ago. 'The struggles are all part of the journey and to consistently perform at the top level in this sport, you do need to go through years and years of struggling and figuring things out before you figure it out.' Brown (left) is now targeting the 2028 Olympics (Image: Sailing Energy / iQfoil Class) Brown's discipline, the iQFOiL class, became an Olympic event for the first time last summer, in Paris. Brown was forced to face the disappointment of missing out on a place in Team GB but that blow of failing to become an Olympian only served to strengthen his will to not only be at the LA Olympics in 2028, but emerge as Olympic champion. 'Missing out on Paris was tough, but I didn't really deserve to be there because I wasn't at the required level at the right time. I feel like I only want to go to the Olympics when I'm in a position to contend for a medal, and I wasn't ready for that,' he says. 'I feel like I've learned from it, though, and I've used it to drive me on. 'I'm at the point now where I've made a lot of the mistakes and so I'm much more aware of what to do and what not to do and that hopefully will help me when I get to the Olympics in 2028.'
