Also worth noting this morning:

The weirdest election campaign in US history looks set to get weirder still. As if Thursday’s surreal CNBC Squawk Box interview with Republican nominee Donald Trump on “economic policy” (and the notion of Barack Obama as the “founder of Isis”) wasn’t enough, the Wall Street Journal is warning us this morning that “Democrats [are bracing] for more leaks from hackers,” noting that “two websites believed to have ties to the Russian government now serve as portals for leaking sensitive information about the Democratic Party.”

If you’re a fan of The Office (the original Ricky Gervais offices, not the US edition), you may now rejoice: “David Brent: Life on the Road” sees Gervais reprise the role that catapulted him to international renown in the original BBC mockumentary. Writes the FT’s Emma Jacobs: “More than twelve years after the end of The Office, when he was made redundant as regional manager of paper supplies company Wernham Hogg, the film finds Brent working as a travelling salesman at Lavichem, a toilet cleaning and feminine hygiene products company.” The Financial Times story is definitely worth a read if you’re a fan. The film is set to debut in Ireland and the UK on 19 August and on Netflix next year. Watch the official trailer (run time: 1:59)
