💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout. No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

When Hornsea 3 completes in late 2027 at 2,900 MW, it will be nearly twice the size of the current world leader (Hornsea 2 at 1,386 MW). Dogger Bank A and B together will add another 2,400 MW. "Hornsea 3 linked its first export cable from the North Sea seabed to the UK coast on March 26."

The Reform councillor in charge of DOGE at Kent council resigned after saying they had not actually made any savings. Still, they increased council tax by 3.99%, so that's a saving... right?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

‘Eid Mubarak’ chocolate box is not being sold by Cadbury – Full Fact
Claims that Cadbury is selling a chocolate box saying ‘Eid Mubarak’ are misleading. Although such a product is sold on eBay by an independent seller, it is not produced by Cadbury.

I don’t share the enthusiasm and all the fanfare surrounding the launch of Artemis to the Moon. This whole Moon mission is rather daft, b/c if you want to explore the Moon and other planets, you’re better off sending rovers. Moreover, the frantic search for minerals is an unscrupulous pursuit.

It was a glorious, glittering Saturday a couple of weeks ago when a small group of us descended on Folkestone Beach to do a recce for a protest that will take place in June.

We hope that Mothers in Arms, a cross-party campaign for female safety, will involve hundreds of women and girls – mums, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers – coming together to stare defiantly across the English Channel, which is crossed daily by hundreds of men in small boats from countries where women are treated appallingly
