Schandalig

Iets wat nooit was kan toch niet onder druk staan?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan: UK should rejoin EU through an election, not a second referendum. “Inward investment is lower than it would be, trade is lower… In London our economy is about £30bn smaller than it would otherwise be, the average Londoner is about £3,400 poorer because of Brexit.”

Starmer gaat het beter uitleggen

clear message from Budapest to Brussels from Anita Orbán, incoming Minister of Foreign Affairs: “The veto will not become a campaign tool.” telex.hu/kulfold/2026...

Basic rule in politics: you should never question the motives of far-right voters. You must, however, insult leftwing voters at every opportunity.

LOL

Extreemrechtse terreur. En het kabinet zwijgt.

Crowd of graduates booing a speaker praising the potential of AI

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

Obvious but needs stating: progressive voters don’t switch from left to far-right. If they feel the need to change their party choice, they switch between leftwing alternatives.

This is the most Starmer-y Starmer thing to ever Starmer.

Yeah, that EPP

Germany should license the Ukrainian Long Neptune as an intermediate solution. Range 1000km compared to Tomahawk 1600km. www.ft.com/content/c64f...

Germany’s policy in the current crisis reminds me of the old quip about never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity…

Zolang politieoptreden tegen de fascistische straatterreur uitblijft zijn dit soort non-besluiten gewoon onvermijdelijk. Het wordt tijd dat het kabinet actief de rechtsstaat gaat bewaken.

"Ga stemmen, altijd – ook als je niet precies weet op wie: want je kunt altijd op een partij stemmen die niet racistisch of fascistisch is, en die de rechtstaat hoog heeft. We leren nu in rap tempo waarom het nodig is fascisten en despoten klein te houden." www.parool.nl/columns-opin... ❤️

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better

Rather peculiarly, Valtonen claims there are only four “credible” armies in Europe: Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, and her home country Finland. Why she doesn’t include Germany seems obvious, but how about France? Or Denmark? Not sure what she’s practising here but it’s not diplomacy…

Our union, now and forever

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

De stemming gaat vrijwel zeker zwaar gemanipuleerd worden door extreemrechts in heel Europa om Netanyahu aan een pr-overwinning te helpen.

Has someone made a map yet of the effects of Viking occupation on the level of support for far right parties?

In a sane world, 🇺🇸 relative decline would lead Washington to double down on core alliances in Europe & Asia. The US int'l system has unmatched potential re: scale, divisions of labor, and tech swaps. We're talking about ~50% of global GDP. And yet, Trump's burning it all down. #geopoliticalsuicide

Let the prosecutions begin

Trump Social and parent company Trump Media are basically a giant money laundering scheme

The Conservatives look set to end up somewhere between -550 and -600. This would be the second-worst locals result for a primary opposition party in post-war Britain, behind the Tories result from last year. On this map, a typical expectation for a first-term opposition would be around 600 *gains*.

A consequence of the decline of the two-party duopoly is also a weakening of British unionism It's not a banner Reform can pick up - being too polarising or unpopular in Wales and Scotland - meaning their wins do not help (The UK is turning into a cloudy Spain - a running series)

Nu Nederland nog

Europadag vandaag! Concordia res parvae crescunt, oftewel, kleintjes bloeien door eendracht. Zo zongen de ouden van de Nederlandse Republiek, zo piept hun nageslacht wijselijk. Er valt veel te zeggen over de EU, maar gelukkig staan we er niet alleen voor in de wereld van Poetin, Trump en Xi.

The gold, 22-foot Donald Trump statue definitely isn’t a false idol. You can tell because Trump’s pastor friend said of the new statue at his Doral golf course, “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf.”

This is pretty funny

Thank you for your attention to this, mate

Greens have taken Hackney mayoral seat

- July 2016: Theresa May replaces David Cameron, no election called - July 2019: Boris Johnson replaces Theresa May, no election called - September 2022: Liz Truss replaces Boris Johnson, no election called - October 2022: Rishi Sunak replaces Liz Truss, no election called

Een bom ontploft bij het partijgebouw van de grootse Nederlandse regeringspartij... En dat is niet de opening van iedere nieuwsite in Nederland? Wat is er aan de hand, collega's?

Labour bastion in Londen gaat naar de Groenen. De stad gaat daarmee de kant op van andere West-Europese hoofdsteden waar Groenen en Sociaal-Democraten elkaars voornaamste electorale concurrenten zijn.

Was een mooie run van Forest maar uiteindelijk werden de vele blessures een onoverkomelijk probleem. Zes van de basiself waren niet beschikbaar, op rechtsback waren zelfs de eerste én de tweede vervanger geblesseerd. Chelsea uit was nog te doen maar Villa was een maatje te groot voor het b-team…

Pander to Reform, lose voters to the Greens, hand the seat to Reform. Strategic genius at work.

BREAKING: Federal trade court strikes down Trump’s backup tariff plan, imposed after the Supreme Court invalidated his broad-based tariffs. Going to need some economists to chew on this one. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Voor dit soort info leef ik.

Fascisme neemt de straat over. En de staat grijpt niet in.

The new cover. Still hard to believe this is real.
