Everything is political, so they say – everything from the trivial to the tragic. Brazil’s far-right populist leader Jair Bolsonaro has pulled Leonardo DiCaprio into his revolting blame games – claiming the actor gave money to NGOs to set the Amazon rainforest on fire.

It took no time at all for the London Bridge attack to get dragged into our election campaign, with the Tories and Labour blaming each other for the attacker’s early release. Get ready for a whole lot more vulgar antics: Donald Trump hits Britain this week – and will no doubt manage to drag our low-down and dirty campaign further into the muck.
