If D66 is confirmed as the largest party in the next parliament, it will be a historic result for them – the party has never been in that position before, AD notes: www.ad.nl/politiek/exi... Reported by @jakubkrupa.bsky.social in @theguardian.com

Last poll in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 before today's election appears to suggest a neck-to-neck race between PVV, D66, GroenLinks/PvdA and CDA. BUT... always read the fine-print: Only 26% of the Dutch electorate knew for certain what they would vote on the eve of the election! Lots could still change.

Furthermore: UK media would benefit from having more foreign-born journalists and especially EU-born. @jakubkrupa.bsky.social is such a great example of someone who enriches its outlet's work with living experience and expertise

Poland’s foreign minister has accused Russia of a “tactically stupid & counterproductive” escalation of the war in Ukraine, saying its drone incursion into Poland appeared to be deliberate. @theguardian.com’s @dansabbagh.bsky.social w/ @radek-sikorski.bsky.social

Journalists theoretically waiting in line a few moments ago for Mark Rutte's press conference at the NATO summit, but in fact for Donald Trump's that is expected afterwards

Another fascinating week in Poland. I travelled 2,000 km+ over both rounds, conducted dozens of interviews in places where media - even less foreign - rarely ever get to, wrote 12 stories, edited five live blogs, and led the website on two election nights. Thank you. @theguardian.com

Some much needed clarification on Tusks announcements yday. Never cease to be amazed on how superficial the reporting on especially Eastern Europe is in the British press.

No, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk did not say that Poland seeks access to nuclear weapons. A good explainer below ⤵️

Lots of terrible & misinformed takes on Poland tonight, proving once again how shallow the coverage of Poland by most international media is: this time based on an out of context misreading of Tusk’s remark on nuclear & a misunderstanding of his comments on military training. 🫠

Trump could start wearing a crown and carrying a sceptre, and people would still be in denial about what's happening.

“Trump’s tirade on his own app, Truth Social, is a distillation of the greatest hits of Russian disinformation from the past three years.” @julianborger.bsky.social says as it is

“Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly … is living in this disinformation bubble." The latest by @jakubkrupa.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

For all the hype about London’s importance for global tech, it will never cease to amaze me that my parents in rural Warsaw, Poland have *literally* 10x faster fiberoptic, better mobile phone signal reception, and better TV antenna signal than I do in zone 2 here.
