Let’s check in again with Karoline Leavitt, shall we? (Sorry, last time today. Promise.)

You don’t have to be watching the new series of Euphoria to appreciate this, so – speaking entirely for ourselves – thank goodness for that.

The World Cup will be held in the nation formerly known as the ‘Good Ol’ US of A’ this summer and a very interesting experience it promises to be too.
