New White House-approved painting was donated after Trump described the original as ‘purposefully distorted’

Months after Donald Trump expressed strong negative opinions about a presidential portrait of him in the Colorado state capitol that he described as “purposefully distorted”, a White House-approved replacement now hangs in its place.

The new portrait, which Trump reportedly demanded be printed with a golden border so it would catch the light and “glimmer”, bears a close resemblance to Trump’s official second-term photograph, which hangs in more than 1,600 federal buildings across the US and thousands more on a voluntary basis.

Bella Thorne’s playful Mediterranean retreat is on the market, florals included. 

Guardian photographer David Levene used an eight-metre pole to get up above the crowds and create a unique perspective on this year’s festival

It can be difficult to get an elevated view at Glastonbury. There are various high-up platforms around the site, and of course there are the hills that give a view down into the valley where the festival nestles. But for much of the weekend you are in a crowd, looking up. Guardian photographer David Levene therefore used an eight metre-high “monopod” – a sort of highly stable pole with his camera stuck on top – to create elevation and give us a better sense of the scale of the crowds.

I wanted to get a slightly different viewpoint of the things that have become very familiar to our readers

• Premier bowler Bumrah could be rested at Edgbaston

• Captain Gill says decision will be made on Tuesday night

India chose to let speculation swirl around the potential involvement of Jasprit Bumrah in Wednesday’s second Test, insisting that a decision over whether to play their premier bowler would not be taken until late on Tuesday night.

Their fear is that should Edgbaston produce a pitch which favours batting, a prospect made more likely by the dry conditions in which the ground staff have been working, and the rain that is tentatively forecast for the weekend were to fall, a draw would become the most likely result. Playing the 31-year-old might end up doing little more than draining his reserves of energy ahead of a third Test that starts at Lord’s next Thursday. Shubman Gill, the India captain, would say only that Bumrah is “definitely available”.

PM makes final attempt to get bill over the line – with Pip cuts planned for 2026 now shelved until after review

• UK politics live – latest updates

Keir Starmer has offered Labour backbenchers a major concession over disability benefits in a last-ditch attempt to limit the largest rebellion of his premiership and get his controversial welfare bill over the line.

Stephen Timms, the welfare minister, told MPs on Tuesday afternoon the government would shelve plans to make major cuts to personal independence payments. Instead ministers will only make changes to the disability payments after Timms has reported the findings of his review into the whole system, which is due to conclude next autumn.
