Good for Darmstadt! Our (Chesterfield) twin town that always makes us welcome.
SV Darmstadt's ultras hold a banner commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, while also reminding that rejecting the far right is a current task rather than one that belongs in the past.
"80 years of being free from fascism. It's everyone's duty to keep it that way!"

Trump’s demands to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal, and his vague threats to annex Canada, are already setting governments on edge. Can the world cope with a US foreign policy of chaos?

I visited the Avenue Flood Storage at Wingerworth to see how it protects Chesterfield and to discuss with the Environment Agency and Derbyshire CC what further measures are needed.
I will post a full update on this meeting and also write to everyone in the areas previously affected by flooding.
