“I didn’t get into politics to sit in a room and just agree with each other,” said another 2024-intake Labour MP. “I don’t think you get good policy by just sitting around like nodding dogs.” But they said they “genuinely believe in collective responsibility,” and are “quite relaxed” about the consequences of voting against the whip. Another backbench MP warns Burnham’s lax approach can only last so long.“Andy is riding high still, he is not in [Nigel] Farage or [Zack] Polanski territory, he can afford for people to go ‘I don’t like this.’ It’s when the shit hits the fan,…
In Spain, having a job no longer guarantees being able to access housing. The increase in property and rental prices in recent years, far outpacing wage growth, makes it difficult both to pay a mortgage and to save up enough for a deposit. This is a gap that particularly – though not exclusively – affects young people and low- and middle-income households and that, in recent weeks, has placed access to housing at the centre of social and political debate, to the point that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez opted to bring forward the general election after failing to secure approval…
Canada and the EU want a much closer relationship — but they still disagree over what that relationship actually is. Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur look ahead to this week’s EU-Canada summit in Montreal, where leaders are still negotiating the language, the label and the practical deliverables. Then, Ukraine’s growing financing needs are colliding with the fight over the EU’s next seven-year budget, as some countries resist taking part in another common loan. And finally, Brussels’ battle over meat-related names takes an unexpected turn — with bacon-flavoured crisps caught in the crossfire. If you have a question or comment, don’t…
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pulled off a dramatic comeback on Sunday as he clinched a re-election victory with a lead of nearly 4.4 million votes over opponent Flávio Bolsonaro, giving him 51.8% of the total vote. The 81-year-old leftist defied projections to win an unprecedented fourth term, staving off a conservative wave that has seen numerous South American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, all shift right, backed by US President Donald Trump. Bolsonaro quickly refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled after an evening of chaos at some…
Rostige Tanker transportieren russisches Öl durch die Ostsee, doch die Bundesregierung schaut trotz harter Ankündigungen tatenlos zu.

German Unity Day may well have been celebrated earlier this month but the sounds of the songs sung to mark the occasion are still reverberating from Berlin to Athens. Some 240 Greeks and Germans joined their voices in a festive service at Berlin Cathedral on Saturday 3 October. The Greek participants were 38 pupils from the Chios Music School, who performed alongside choirs and ensembles from Berlin’s Sing-Akademie (Sing-Akademie zu Berlin). Together they performed works by Mendelssohn, Poulenc, Britten, Lewandowski and Holst, as well as “Ora kali” by Michalis Adamis and “Messa Latina” by Yannis Christou. The result of this…
Supporters of the student-backed opposition movement celebrated the announcement, marking a major political turning point after nearly two years of demonstrations against his government. Earlier, election officials had begun counting ballots at polling stations across the capital as voting closed. Preliminary figures released by Serbia’s election commission indicated the country’s highest parliamentary election turnout in more than three decades, reflecting the scale of public participation in a closely watched contest between the governing party and a broad opposition movement. The election followed a prolonged wave of protests that began after the collapse of a concrete canopy at Novi Sad railway…
