Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regimehttps://t.co/yfMCWUFk34

Doesn’t really suggest a massive Reform win on the scale of what they were picking up when Johnson was at his height.
Whatever people think of Boris, very, very few people think he should be prosecuted.
Unlike the Liberals in Canada or Labor in Australia who won on anti Trump momentum, the winner in Hungary is clearly centre right, just not as nationalist right as Orban is. Indeed Magyar was once in Orban's party
Looks personal.
But Pollievre is a dead man walking - he lost from a big lead once, was given another go, and yet MPs keep quitting on him. Plus he does still have Trumpists in his party's support, so he cannot shake the connection.
You have call out bigotry when you see it.
Thank Christ we all live in proper democracies.
But hopefully this is the beginning of the end.
Wise hard-right leaders through history have known not to hitch their wagon too closely to divisive foreign extremists. Meloni’s exercising that judgment now, as Franco did in the 40s.
Not edifying for either of them.
NEW: Anas Sarwar has said the Scottish Government should embrace business with Donald Trump 'regardless of what people think of his politics'
🗣️ 'President Trump’s affinity for Scotland is real, regardless of what people think of his politics'

Scruton is rightly idolised in Eastern Europe for the tangible support he gave to dissidents resisting Soviet rule. He would never have identified with Putin.
I have a meeting tomorrow morning at 8am.
At 9am I need to sack the person who scheduled the 8am meeting.
Will Javier Milei confirm that?
I don't think there's much evidence that Trump affected the Hungarian elections either way.
This time series shows that Magyar's party has led for about 10 points+/-MOE for the last year.

Most foreign political endorsements seem to have about as much impact as celebrity endorsements.
He’s an oaf. Not a fascist
Tisza can afford to lose another four.
In one seat, Tisza is ahead by just 11 votes out of 34,000 with 88% counted.
There are six seats where the lead is less than 1,000. Tisza has the precarious lead in four of these six.
Indeed, he explicitly axed the "tens of thousands" pledge that Cameron and May both made.
Its just that others projected onto him views that he never expressed and promises he never made.
But a blowout like this?
Good night for First Past the Post.
Indeed, I suspect that with the crisis heading our way, politics is about to get even MORE polarised - both ways. With voters going hard left as well as hard right. We see it here in the UK with the rise of the ridiculous Islamo-Greens
85% counted
Just an Orban legend.
Milei is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual Peronists.
(Appropriately autocorrected Vance -> cancer when I typed it in just now)
NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:
President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.
According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
“This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”
In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.
Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran
In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.
Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.“

The language has not changed, people are just being dickless about correcting others because they don't want to appear behind the times. That's fine, go ahead. I will continue to say it is wrong, because it is.
“Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. Together, we are stronger. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.”
What lovely words from UVDL .
He made sure it was Ballot-on.
That could require being in for the long haul.
If all that was offered as packages to the government, one wonders what Trump's cut was proposed to be.
We use context to ascertain intended meaning all the time.
Are you going to ban sarcasm and all other times when words are used to convey the opposite of their literal meaning too?
You got to move the the times, daddy-o.
Unless there's a counter reformation we'll need to come up with a new word to express the same feeling.
Words are used to mean their inverse quite often in English.

It would be much easier to create a new port, than take an existing busy import terminal.
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
