On Wednesday, Scotland's first minister will don his sharpest evening wear to attend a State banquet at Windsor Castle in honour of the US president. Six months ago there seemed little chance that the SNP leader would have anything to do with President Trump's second state visit to the UK.

Monday, on social media, President Donald Trump announced that he had murdered three people—"three male terrorists killed in action" was how he put it.
