Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power

Cartoon by Gábor Pápai, a well-known Hungarian political cartoonist.

‼️🇭🇺🇪🇺 Here is a potted timeline thread marking some of the key milestones that built Prime Minister Viktor Orban's illiberal democracy in Hungary over his 16 years in power. His tenure looks likely to end tomorrow. The table stakes for Hungary and Europe could not be higher 1/

More villages in South Lebanon being detonated by Israel.

Israel is the one sharing these videos. They are proud of their war crimes.

🚨🚨special episode: I spoke to the UK’s former head of international energy strategy about what the war means for global energy supplies. It’s bad news, I’m afraid.

Seen in this context, the prospect of deradicalization is nothing more than a forlorn hope for avoiding the harsh reality, which is the following: The only way Israel can ensure how the Gaza Strip will be governed, and who will govern it, is to govern it itself. Moreover, the only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of "another people" is to remove "the other people" from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself. This is the only feasible path to durable deradicalization of Gaza. This is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science.

Open call for the full ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on the Jerusalem Post.

This is Israeli political culture, and as the author note: “This is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science.”

Genocide as as a science.

Funding for populist-right ‘media-political complex’ exceeded £170m in five years, research finds Handful of billionaires gave huge sums in particular to media organisations that boosted rightwing politicians, says Liam Byrne MP

Day 2242 of #Brexit: ‘More than £170m was given to MPs, political parties, media organisations and thinktanks aligned with the UK’s populist right over the past five years, new research from the Labour MP Liam Byrne has found.’ www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

One lap and then it starts again. On March 13, at 10:35 a.m., amidst the waves, Arthur (not his real name), a young officer in the French Navy, was out for a run, circling the deck of the ship where he worked. To record his performance — a little over 7 kilometers covered in thirty-five minutes-he used the smartwatch on his wrist. The data collected was then uploaded to the internet. Because Arthur has a profile on the sports app Strava, and it's "public": anyone can view it. The young man has therefore just reported, almost live, the exact position in the Mediterranean Sea of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its escort, northwest of Cyprus and about a hundred kilometers from the Turkish coast, as Le Monde has observed .

truly incredible that strava leaks are still happening after all this time

Britain’s electricity is currently 72% zero carbon.

We’re defeating the oil barons, petro-state dictators, paid fossil fuel lobbyists, and every right wing grifter on the internet one wind turbine at a time.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

🇶🇦 Qatar is shutting down its LNG liquefaction at Ras Laffan, declaring force majeure on exports, - Reuters

Restarting production will take at least two weeks, and another two weeks to reach full capacity, meaning global LNG supply could be disrupted for about a month amid regional conflict.

Our new graphics show who is still working with Russia and buying #LNG today, including European companies like #SEFE, #TotalEnergies, and #Naturgy.

Loopholes must be closed: stronger enforcement, maritime restrictions, and #sanctions on all Arc7 LNG carriers.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

It tells you something about the disorientating rate of change underway that nobody is particularly shocked that a head of state has been assassinated by other states, something which has *never happened* in the modern era. Which is illegal under US law. Shed no tears for Khamanei, but still.

Amid all the anger at Labour, I feel for Angeliki Stogia. She was attacked repeatedly for being an immigrant, had to deal with the Andy Burnham question, and campaigned in backdrop of Labour struggles. She's a dedicated councillor of 12 years, who loves Manchester and wanted to do more for it

Lots of Russian vessels en route to Kattegat, possibly to greet the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle
