As Ukraine mourns innocent people murdered in their sleep by a russian terrorist missile, the media reports that the US Administration has shared with Ukraine a new, updated Capitulation Plan. No pressure on russia, just Ukraine cutting its own hands and legs. What a disgrace.

Multiple political party websites hacked by pro Russian group ahead of local elections in Denmark.

Interference in election campaigns by foreign actors is a deliberate attempt at destabilizing. It is worrying but also important for democracies to build up resilience against this.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

Who’s France’s next PM? Me? You? It could be anyone! Put your hand up and you’ve half a chance (terms and conditions apply, in particular if you’re from the left)
🚨 BREAKING: French lawmakers have toppled PM François Bayrou’s minority government, thrusting the country deeper into a political crisis that will force President Macron to name a fifth premier in less than two years.
France’s government collapses
Macron must now appoint his fifth prime minister in less than two years.

Ellen Wilkinson was such a good parliamentary performer.

Here she is in 1925, arguing for votes for women at 21 (rather than 30, as previously).

What Abou-Chadi et al. show here is not just that conservative migration positions won't help social-democrats to attract voters, but also that left positions on retirement (that is allowing for early retirement) make social-democrats most attractive (and right positions make them less attracitve).

For SD Parties this means that as long as their program is economically to the left, it does not matter much to working class voters what it includes culturally e.g. on immigration. In contrast, educated middle class voters will punish a program for being less culturally progressive.
