That's excellent news!

Germany plans cuts to its healthcare system. So far, so bad. But what is really striking in this article is that critics argue that these cuts could lead to a similar abysmal situation like in the UK. Britain as the ultimate benchmark for a dysfunctional state now in the German political discourse.

Let's hope that the good people of Hungary now get the opportunities that were denied to them by authoritarian cronyism. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Ironically, Hungary has a navy... Mostly comprised of its Danube flotilla (going back to the Habsburg days).

I guess the British equivalent of Peter Magyar would be (literally) Johnny English. Let that sink in...

P.S.: I did not know that Kerkeling's grandfather was incarcerated for almost the whole duration of the Nazi dictatorship from March 1933 to April 1945.

Here is the full speech. Very moving and a call to arms to defend freedom and democracy: www.stiftung-gedenkstaetten.de/reflexionen/...

I like that the very Berlin slang "knorke" is there as well.

Went to see some international football this evening. Tartan Army proved to be good sports, as was expected. The game itself was so-so. Hope #Scotland will improve a bit until the World Cup begins.

Buying a bike last year seems like a very savvy investment now. I wonder when petrol will reach the 2 quid mark. I have a feeling it's not too long now.

Another fantastic example of the work our @ljmuhistory.bsky.social students are doing in the community for the community. We're very proud of them!

I was driving down the M6 on Friday and there signs that no diesel was available at every single service. No diesel available at the petrol stations in Bath either. Could be local problem, but it made me think.

Is it advertised somewhere, so I could forward it to MA students?

@liamthorp.bsky.social - this is something for a good local politics reporter. Why have rents increased by almost 20% in Bootle year-on-year? I am genuinely baffled.

Looks like the Danish model of "social-demicratic" anti-immigrant policies has failed electorally. Worst result for the Danish Social Democrats since 1901, and the far right manged to trebble their vote share. The Labour Party should take this as a warning...

Even I, as someone who enjoys the occasional ciggy outside the pub, don't want the bad old days back. People have forgotten the nasty smell that lingered in these places before the smoking ban.

Danish exit polls point to win for Frederiksen’s Social Democrats, but without a majority – Europe live Incumbent’s party appear to have largest vote share but are poised for their worst showing since 1901 with Rasmussen’s Moderates likely to be kingmakers

Weren't the Danish Social Democrats with their anti-immigrant policies the shining example Labour want to emulate? Looks like they are on course for their worst election result since 1901 (despite the "Greenland Boost").

No one following LFC will be even remotely surprised that Mo Salah is leaving the club.
