"A senior official from another Baltic state said Russia was also 'weaponising' the net-zero agenda to stir up public resentments."
"...it is only a matter of time before the tactics that are now being tested on the Baltic states are turned against other countries, including the UK and Germany"
Yeah this is a real thing happening in the actual world. They are going to rename the Donbas "Donnyland" so an orange toddler-brain demented psychopath feels less pro-Russia.
I have a history degree. Genuinely I don't know of any precedent for this much stupidity.

It's certainly a bold approach to take to one of your party's core voting groups two weeks before elections.
Puts British political scandal into perspective
I checked this too.
*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.
*No other* party logo displayed.
In local election purdah.
This is not normal. At all.
The problem with Starmer's argument (well one of them) is that it depends on an assertion that he wouldn't have appointment Mandelson if he'd known he'd failed vetting.
But he appointed him before vetting was complete.

Listening to various British podcasts on Hungary from this week. Is it really that difficult to pronounce ‚Magyar‘ correctly ?
There’s Google, guys.
Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.
An interesting week ahead.
MAGA is starting to believe Trump staged his assassination to get elected after losing the 2020 election to Biden. Reports that he shut down the investigation before it start are adding fuel to the fire.

Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien kürzt mehr als 200 Projekten bei »Demokratie leben!« das Geld. Menschen, die im Ministerium arbeiten, sagen: weil sie der Hausspitze zu links sind. Auch interne Dokumente, die wir einsehen konnten, nähren den Verdacht.
Am I the only one who has problems here today. Bluesky seems not to work properly since this morning …
Had the same thoughts this morning listening to that story. If you decide to make a headline story about that kind of inflammatory accusations you shd have a few more facts to support that claim.
Yes. It shd. Fingers crossed.

Including many British right-wingers who danced to the Kremlin's tune having heard it played by Orban's orchestra.
No conspiracy theory is mad enough to not be true in Trumps brave new world, especially when it comes to money.
It’s like with satire is dead... so no, you’re not losing it, sadly. Its a v likely possibility.
Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.
Was it only four days ago The Telegraph comment pages were gazing into their tea leaves ?

Hungary has voted for Remain.
Britain next, please.
Important point. Tusk is still struggling after many years.
But still, it is a huge victory for Magyar, Hungary and for Europe.
