Magyar says his government will work for a ‘free, European’ Hungary in break with Orbán era – Europe live Tisza leader thanks voters in Facebook post and says his administration will be ‘well-functioning and compassionate’ Programme director of the CEU Democracy Institute, and author of Tainted Democracy: Viktor Orbán and the Subversion of Hungary Magyar’s improbable rise was made possible by the government’s worsening economic record and growing anger over its pro-Russian, anti-European stance. For years, Hungarian voters had felt trapped between an authoritarian government and a feeble, fractured opposition. Magyar broke that deadlock. Removing Orbán from office is one thing. Dismantling Orbánism is quite another. Continue reading...

Thanks. I'm aware of where the Greens stand on most things. FI'm a former Chair/Secretary of the local Labour Party where this election was held. My politics are slight left of centre and the Greens tick some boxes, but their stances on global affairs are where they fall down. Time to pivot, though.

I will hold my nose on my general disdain for populist vibe based politics and the general fundamental problems with the Greens' positions on NATO among various other things (this was just a local county council election, however) and say well done, and thank god Reform didn't win.

Thousands march against far right in London in biggest ever multicultural protest More than 100 charities, campaign groups and trade unions marched in a show of unity against far right politics * Together Alliance march – live updates Tens of thousands of people have gathered in London to march against the far right in the biggest multicultural demonstration in UK history. Organisers claimed half a million people had travelled to the capital for the Together Alliance march. Police estimated the turnout closer to 50,000, although they admitted it was difficult to judge due to how spread out the crowd was. Continue reading...

I'd just like to put in on record that I have never been to Ipswich and think Norwich is a lovely place.

Sometimes I like to check the weather in random cities around the world at any given time.

I can only conclude that the weather in Omaha, Nebraska, is a bit mad.

The @brightonseo.com schedule has been released, and I'm very excited to be taking to the Skyline Stage on Friday 1st May at 14:20 to give my talk on Ecommerce CMS migrations.

Do come and watch. #BrightonSEO

It has been hard being a Spurs fan for well over 30 years, despite a trophy last year and a real sense of belief during the Pochettino years after decades of mediocrity.

But this is incredibly difficult and very sad.

This has been true, though as an SEO consultant who advocates the discipline as a core part of the overall website and user journey from discovery to conversion, I suppose I do need to practice what I preach somewhat.

I've been guilty over the years of neglecting my personal site, aside from blog publication, often labouring around the "too busy" maxim.

I've given my professional website a long overdue reskin and general update.

An improvement on its erstwhile form, I hope.

And sure. The Greens say a lot of nice things. Such is the age of populism we live in. But I need more convincing. Particularly on their stance on Russia, NATO and the EU.

How many constituencies are going to see the same, where the split in the progressive vote (understandable, given Labour's trajectory) gifts Reform seats?

Our voting system is archaic, and I'm in favour of PR. But with what we have currently, I'd encourage a pragmatic tactical voting approach.

However, the make up of the constituency as a whole likely points to a Reform gain, given the collapse for Labour support to the Greens among liberal minded folk and general support for Reform across the constituency (though less so in the town where I live, thankfully.)

Russell Tovey lives in the town where I live, a liberal seaside town anomaly in Reform-controlled Kent. We have a very good local Labour MP (Polly Billington), despite the shortcomings of the party nationally.
