The Daily Express has been fined 'nine times' so far this year by IPSO over inaccurate headlines but you would never know it.
When will the UK press be properly punished for deliberately publishing disinformation? #IPSOfail

Express rapped by IPSO over inaccurate headlines nine times in 2025 so far

IPSO finds the Express website to have published "significantly" inaccurate or misleading headlines six times in the past three months.

Ze mogen alleen lopende zaken afhandelen en al het andere moet aan de Kamer voorgelegd worden... Het lijkt er inderdaad meer op dat ze kijken waarmee ze nog gauw even weg kunnen komen

- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected

An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers

Foutje van Caroline: de Tories zijn niet opgeslokt door het bijna verdwenen UKIP maar door Farages jongste partij Reform. Soort Eerdmans qua seriële partijbewegingen maar dan succesvol, Farage

And the people claiming to have seen things with their own eyes clearly don't know what the procedures are for polling stations. Handing containers with votes to an unknown person with a van?? That is, to put it mildly, not following protocol

Questioning electoral integrity without evidence is anti-democratic behavior.

Wilders is now sharing unsourced messages suggesting voter fraud. He does so by ‘asking questions’. This comes after him questioning the ANP calling the elections.

The support for the three ideological “blocs” (Left-Right-Far Right) in the Netherlands is remarkably STABLE.

In this election, again, almost all of the (aggregate) change is between parties WITHIN THE SAME BLOC.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

The opposite of FPTP (basically a two-party system) is representation for everyone. That could however do with a little practicality check:

Matt Steinglass @mattsteinglass.bsky.social · 7d

The Netherlands has an extraordinary proportional-representation system where any party that can win 0.66% gets a seat. The result is 15 parties in parliament and high instability. @catherinedevries.bsky.social and @simonhix.bsky.social argue that a German-style lower bound is needed.

Morgen (vandaag al online) in het @fd.nl: samen met @simonhix.bsky.social pleiten we voor een kiesdrempel in Nederland.

We vermoeden dat dit niet helemaal onopgemerkt zal blijven. 😉

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

De bezorgde burger = altijd wit, vaak man, racistisch, xenofoob en islamofoob. De bezorgde burger = nooit zwart, vrouw, moslim, gevlucht en terecht bezorgd om het racisme dat overal ruim baan krijgt. De bezorgde burger is al sinds Fortuyn een racistisch codewoord. En dat is verder geen nieuws.

Ik vind ook dat mijn Nederland is veranderd. Toen ik hierheen kwam was dit een vriendelijke multiculturele land vol zelfvertrouwen met degelijk en vooruitstrevende sociaal en economisch beleid. Al 25 jaar zijn proberen racisten dat kapot te maken. #sbsdebat
