Blimey. Asked about Trump, Merz says he’s in close contact with European leaders about becoming “independent” from US (and confesses “I never thought I’d say that on TV show”). Casts doubt on value of NATO summit in June.
This from a die-hard Atlanticist. Things are moving fast.

Our beautiful 1964 Cheltenham Puku 4 is probably our favourite caravan. Cheltenham made caravans for connoisseurs back in the day, and over half a century later, this still puts pretty much all new caravans to shame with its practicality, build quality, towability and sense of style.

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.
Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.
