Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

I understand why Europe is flabbergasted by the Peace plan in Ukraine; but what did they think was going to happen?
Trump's ideas about Peace plans could not have been clearer. Every Initiative in the Middle East since 2016 was based on protecting U.S. interests without involvement by local actors.

Auch spannend, dass in der Debatte ein wenig verloren geht, was lange selbstverständlich war: Dass Parteien eine integrierende Funktion in der Demokratie haben und deswegen staatlich unterstützt werden. Sie sollen in die Gesellschaft hinein strahlen.
Warum eigentlich, dazu sollte es doch Parteistiftungen geben? (und: alle Parteien? Hat @dielinkebt.de auch eine „Denkfabrik“?)
Also ich bin auch nicht begeistert, dass Geld in Projekte fliesst, die so rechtsoffen sind, aber zur Wahrheit gehört auch, dass sich alle Parteien Denkfabriken halten und diese aus ideologischen Gründen alimentieren:

Here is the thing: No one can predict backlashes, public sentiment and turnout next year. But voter suppression and intimidation have real, measurable and lasting effects. So alot will hinge in how successful these efforts will be, and how united Republicans stay while receiving backlashes today.
not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

I think an underappreciated aspect about young candidates is how much time they have to pursue a political career: Mamdani could serve two terms before running for another office, and still be one of the youngest candidates for Senate / Governorship. Less worry about him leaving for higher office.

Four wins for democrats with huge margins do not bode well for Trump - especially considering the ongoing unpopularity of the party.
As for the strategy debate: Both leftist and moderate candidates won, seems almost as if candidate quality and state composition matters more than universal strategy.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.
