I'm fine giving credit to Trump for the North & South Korea news, but first let's hear exactly what he did, other than calling Kim Jong Un childish names that my 4-year-old nephew wouldn't even call a person.
Heck, Trump hasn't even appointed an ambassador to South Korea yet.

This was the third inter-Korean summit, FYI.
(Am genuinely curious how Trump plans to take credit for the ones in 2000 and 2007.) https://t.co/OcFpCDiyrU— Jeffrey Lewis (@ArmsControlWonk) April 27, 2018

UK 'better off abandoning Brexit' if May fails to leave customs unionhttps://t.co/0nQ25ODfnl

Seems to have been a jaw-dropping £300bn swing in foreign investment flows to and from UK, in a negative sense, between 2016 and 2017 according to latest OECD figures. Nothing to do with Brexit, of course
— Robert Peston (@Peston) April 27, 2018
Because of Brexit, the economy is slowing markedly and the inward flow of international investment has been hugely reduced. Continuing on this path will see both worsen even more. Brexit means recession, long and deep.
— Keith Burge (@carryonkeith) April 27, 2018
Brexit ministers: "UK has done nothing to plan for leaving the customs union. UK also has no prospect of any serious trade deals to offset leaving the customs union."
– So UK has no choice but to stay in the customs union?
Brexit ministers: "Unacceptable, a resigning issue!"
— David Allen Green (@davidallengreen) April 27, 2018
Wait, so you're saying that if we stay in the Customs Union, Boris will leave the government and Jacob Rees-Mogg will leave the country?
