Why do we have a Far Right government when we voted in Labour?
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

Trump is right: The US is going through a golden age.
If with “golden age” you mean an absurd amound of golden interior decoration in the white house and an utterly dystopian police state outside of it.

"The EU’s climate legislation is being sacrificed at the altar of Trump appeasement," writes @davekeating.substack.com. "Washington now thinks it has a veto over European laws. And based on the recent actions of our European politicians, they are not wrong." davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-par...
The EU Parliament now has a right-wing majority
President von der Leyen's centre-right EPP yesterday broke the centrist coalition, joining with the far right in order to pass the climate deregulation demanded by Trump.
