The other interesting question is where are the PSOE’s votes going because they’re not going to the far left
Years of aggressive polarising rhetoric seem to be hurting the PP and rewarding vox.

This is usually what happens. Feijoó would do better to return to his earlier concilating persona

Great news for planetary health. Unfortunately, the U.S. has not ratified the High Seas Treaty and is not expected to under Trump. Instead, Trump has issued an executive order saying NOAA can unilaterally issue permits for deep-sea mining in international waters. Dozens of countries object.
Some good news: The High Seas Treaty, as it is known, was ratified by a 60th nation, Morocco, crossing the threshold for United Nations treaties to go into effect. Two decades in the making, it allows for the establishment of enormous conservation zones in international waters.

Another club would have just said 'ok, let's accept reality, another 6 months at Montjuic'.

But at Laporta's Barca the constant drama and improvisation seems to be a feature not a flaw...

Lisbon funicular crash exposes safety flaws in city's old charm
The death of at least 16 people in an historic cable car that derailed in Lisbon has exposed flaws in the "old charm" image of the Portuguese capital, which is brimming with tourists but runs on quaint but creaking infrastructure.

Spain's wild horses in peril, despite key role in wildfire prevention
Fire prevention is one of several roles wild horses play in preserving Galicia’s delicate ecosystems. But Europe’s largest herd of wild horses has dwindled to less than half the 22,000 that roamed its mountains in the 1970s.

The Premier League teams, which unbelievably are allowed to make up their own rules, had a chance to block the type of weird manoeuvre Chelsea pulled by selling selves hotels/women’s team to pass PSR. They didn’t in case they may need to pull similar trick. So, enter Aston Villa this week. Farcical.
