In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Bertie and Jasper did a(nother) thing today; nearly six miles around West Sussex, and all to build an appetite for slow braised rib of beef with apple crumble for duff. #minischnauzergang #DogsofBlueSky #Minischnauzers

Russia has not only provided intelligence support to Iran but, as it turns out, has also supplied missiles to the Iranians. (Bloomberg News) Americans were killed by Iranian attacks using these weapons. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

"Badenoch: I only want serious people to join Conservative Party" Also Bad-enoch implementing unserious policies; opposition Net Zero, leaving the ECHR, psychometric testing of candidates

Most leaders hope for a post-conference polling bounce. I think Polanski will not be so fortunate; long-term the ‘Zionism is racism’ will hang around the Greens neck like a dying and diseased albatross. The Corbinistas will now have two options and the Greens become a comedy act.

Russia has already begun additional mobilization and increased the pace of military recruitment. It also plans to expand the recruitment of foreign nationals, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

If I were in the IRG leadership and seeing reports that Trumplethinskin is on the road stumping every day in October, I would be upping the pressure in both straits directly and thro proxies. Every time he speaks, voters need to be reminded this is his war

Banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico just *before* a massive opportunity for good news and potential for casting Trump as statesman-like with the visit of Xi was mind-numbingly stupid. To compound that schoolboy error *during* the visit smacks of a level of idiocy that beggars belief.

No Sam, there won’t be an election tomorrow. No Kemi there won’t be a December 2026 election. I’d be amazed if there an election before 2029. So for the love of all that’s holy, let’s quieten the hysteria, the hyperbole, and go back to sensible reporting. news.sky.com/story/politi...
