In 1989 and 2023, Poles said the exact same thing Hungarians did a few weeks ago: freedom always wins.

I’ve just watched the Andy Burnham video and can’t see why everyone’s raving about it. No policy content, Oasis/Elbow playing in background, miners strike etc - I don’t get it. Is it me?

Andy Burnham has a seat (almost) By @EthanCroft98 Andy Burnham has found a seat to run in. In an extraordinary turn of events Josh Simons MP, a prime architect of the Starmer project, has turned on the Prime Minister and announced that he will surrender his seat of Makerfield with the explicit intention of being replaced as its MP by Burnham so that the Greater Manchester mayor can challenge Starmer for the leadership of the Labour Party and the country. “Today, I am putting the people I represent and the country I love first and will be resigning as MP for Makerfield,” he said. “I am standing aside so that Andy Burnham can return to his home, fight to re-enter parliament, and if elected, drive the change our country is crying out for,” he said in a statement to his constituents. Makerfield, on the western outskirts of Greater Manchester, has a comfortable but not huge Labour majority of 5,000. It stayed with the party even during its major national defeat in 2019. In the local elections last week, Reform performed well in the wards that make up the constituency (and the party came second there at the last election). Burnham’s team will be confident that his overwhelming personal popularity in Greater Manchester means he would hold the seat for Labour in a by-election. newstatesman.com/politics/2026/…

Some photos of the lavishly renovated Ministry of Interior building, refurbished at a cost of hundreds of billions of forints in public money. Arrogant luxury in a plundered country facing economic crisis and the highest inflation in Europe.

Hungarian journalists are free to roam
around and work in the Parliament building once again, so the Parliament selfie is the latest fashion here these days - I could not miss it, either!

Westminster looks down on the presidential system while rotating leaders every couple of years, mostly without reference to the electorate

Theresa May - 3 years Boris Johnson - 3 years, 2 months Liz Truss - 7 weeks Rishi Sunak - 1 year, 9 months Keir Starmer currently 1 year, 10 months If he goes today, it’s averaging a PM every two years. Are we the new Italy?

As openly gay Romani singer Ibolya Oláh began performing her anthem “Magyarország,” the cordons on Kossuth Square opened. The crowd surged forward, many walking across the reflecting pool.
Beautiful symbolism of a new era of hope.

Orbán Viktor@PM_ViktorOrban
The new guys must understand one thing very clearly: if you do not fight for Hungary in Brussels, the Brusselians will walk all over you. Giving up our patriotic position and surrendering national sovereignty for money or political approval would be a historic mistake. Foreign elites must not be allowed to decide our future for us! 🇭🇺

🇭🇺🎧 Hungary’s new PM Péter Magyar DJ’d at his own inauguration party in front of Parliament. The Orbán era and its political culture (smear campaigns, fearmongering, hatemongering etc) is gone for good. The latest poll puts Magyar’s Tisza party at 70%. 🎥@telexhu

Labour wins general election on 35% - ‘hollow victory’ ‘loveless landslide’
Reform wins council seats on 27% - ‘Nigel’s English revolution’
Gavin Barwell@GavinBarwell
Editor's note: Yes Reform won the most seats But its national equivalent vote share was 27%. That's LOWER than last year And come a general election it will face widespread tactical voting because many voters really don't want Farage as PM

Parliament of Hungary NOW.
No police lights and cordons, batons and pepper sprays, but a laser show, music, dance, and joy after Orban is ousted forever.
