Although you do have to wonder what will happen with Merz’s political future after recent AfD wins. He’s not a popular chancellor, and the CDU may want to change their leader.

There’s a proverb in Dutch that says ‘the landlord trusts his patrons as much as he would behave himself’. Seems applicable.

I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

One of the best things that Count Binface has done, simply by being the sole opposition Farage faces, is that he has completely destroyed Farage’s attempt to frame the election as ‘the people against the establishment’. Binface is the opposite of the establishment. The framing won’t work.

It is indeed ridiculous, given that he intends to stand again, immediately. This is not a resignation. It’s a ploy to reset his expenses, to divert scrutiny from appropriate bodies to a populist vote by people who don’t have all the facts, and to dominate the media with anti-establishment drivel.

Apparently they’d rather give control to profit seeking insurance corporations, than a government. Having said that, the ones that are most afraid of “socialist” policies are also the ones who seem happiest with the current president getting away with crimes and corruption. Make it make sense.

Absolutely. I knew when I was 12 I wouldn’t stay in the village I grew up in (or any of the neighbouring bigger villages). Just too small minded. Cambridge is a small city with a metropolitan vibe and I love it. Especially that there are lots of immigrants here, from everywhere (including me).
