It would be a nice homage if Trump jumps into an aircraft carrier near Mar-a-Lago to declare total victory in a week or so...

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

But on the bright side a lot of creativity oriented to the non mainstream beer production!

So Chancellor Merz in his recent visit to the White House was just showing democratic solidarity with a minority group

According to the War overlord it is great that Iran is able to attack so many countries of the region and US interest there.... Terrific news

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Remarkable contrast from Spain, which has been among the most outspoken European governments in condemning the Iranian regime's violence against its own citizens, but criticises the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attacks and defends international law now.

I feel utterly sickened by what this administration is engaged in... today illegally bombing Iran and killing 53 or more girls while violating international law, arresting and then abandoning a rohingya blind man to freeze to death on a dark and freezing

Nepal’s election is referendum on its future and democracy in South Asia In response to the 2025 protests which overthrew the government, Nepal took the more difficult path of political renewal unlike its neighbours.

As South Asia slides into democratic decline, Nepal’s March 2026 election stands out as a rare test of whether youth power, republican values, and real electoral choice can still keep the idea of democracy alive. #MyPiece scroll.in/article/1090...

But there is also Sanders, Mamdani or what the Green Party is doing in UK, just winning a new seat in the Parliament against Labour and the extreme right there. So there is a way out too in terms of building alternative options.
