What fantastic news from Hungary. Proof that if you stand up to it right wing kleptocratic populist authoritarianism can be beaten. Orban will now flee somewhere with his wealth. But this is more than a bad night for him. It is a bad night for Putin who as in Moldova spent a fortune trying to rig it. It is a bad night for Trump. It is a bad night for Vance and Rubio who believed that their mere presence in Budapest would swing the vote Orban’s way. They helped Magyar! . It is a bad night for Farage the AfD and Le Pen because it shows that when their brand of politics is exposed to serious opposition and scrutiny it collapses. Magyar is far from the perfect leader but my God he deserves all the congratulations coming his way for ousting Orban and showing how it can be done. He now has the tough job of dismantling the corrupt systems and bodies installed over 16 years. The people of Hungary deserve our thanks for showing these people can be beaten. And Zelensky now deserves far greater support from Europe.

I hope this photo is a watershed moment.
Forced to carry on to the end of the race with a broken back.
Collapsed & died after the finish line.
RIP Gold Dancer.
If you’re making money off this kind of suffering - how do you look at yourself in the mirror?

I don't care if it's the hill I die on. Fuel from the ground will run dry some day. I support offshore exploration in case we're lucky and get more of it.
That buys some time, but we still face volatile global pricing and import dependency. You can slash taxes to zero and we're still vulnerable to price jumps.
The only responsible way forward is to gradually replace fuel consumption with electricity. Farmers and hauliers will still need diesel for decades more. Passenger cars can swap to electric, easing the price pressure for scarce fuels.
The answer to yesterday's question was only answered correctly by 18% of respondents. Ireland consumed 8.1 billion litres of fuels in 2008. Despite a much higher population today, we now consume 6.5 billion litres.
Getting that number even lower means that the next oil crisis will be less damaging. Picture a €250 million package when most passenger cars are EVs. It would go a lot further for the hardest hit (farmers, hauliers etc.).
If your only policy is slashing carbon taxes and excise, you're putting off the inevitable. You're calling for the burning of billions in fiscal space, money that could be used for home charger / EV grants and more.

There is currently a petition to the House of Commons asking the government to draft legislation that would make it so MP's could not lie and spread misinformation/disinformation.
Sounds like a good idea to me 👍

BREAKING AMERICA 🇺🇸 : The White House just confirmed that Russia is exempt from U.S. tariffs… because “Washington is currently negotiating with it.”
Let that sink in:
While Trump slaps crippling tariffs on allies like Germany, France, Japan, the U.K., and even Vietnam…
RUSSIA gets a free pass.
The same Russia invading Ukraine.
The same Russia hacking democracies.
The same Russia whose dictator Trump has praised more than any American general.

isn’t this the same guy who wielded a chainsaw on stage to signify the jobs he was ending and the benefits he was cutting?

Finally! A drop in Europe's transport emissions.
Electric cars are largely responsible for this. This is good news. Thanks @transenv for the research. transportenvironment.org/art…

Laura Ballarin Cereza has a message for the tech bros from the European Parliament. This is why Trump wants to crush Europe.

No thanks. We do not want the Americans to become rich at the expense of our beautiful nature.
We don’t want to be rich people.
We are already rich with our beautiful nature, that our ancestors have given to us.
btw. we are safe here in Greenland, so don’t worry about us.
Why not be worried for your friend, the president of Russian Federation - dictator Putin.
Last thing, Mr. Trump;
You need to be worried about your self - a normal person who is president of a democratic nation can’t just take a land from another democratic nation.

Well said and ex-Twitter is the top worst social media platform spewing disinformation and fascist views.
A lot of people are applauding , praising @JustinTrudeau including people who previously disliked him or worse (as pointed out in the editorial below). I've asked people why they hated him so much, and the answers were often vague or downright false (not smart, communist dictator), driven by feeling more than intellect. So maybe it's time to consider that many of us Canadians were successfully influenced by a nefarious social media campaign to hate our Prime Minister, and then, when we came face to face with the man in this crisis, as opposed to memes, the reality of who he is turned out to be something quite different. Social media can be used to manipulate us all. #cdnpolitics #CPC #Liberal

Imagine spending your entire life, more than 50 years,at the epicenter of politics and public life in your country.First as the son of a Prime Minister who held office for the first 13 years of your life. Then almost 17 years serving as a Member of Parliament yourself, almost 10 of those years as Prime Minister. Put aside partisan thoughts and just think about such a commitment to our country. I’ve worked very closely with politicians in the highest offices. The sacrifices of those normal things we take for granted are many. Being in the public eye all your life… just think about that. Finally, remember our democracy. Without those who are willing to serve at the will of our electorate we would not have the privilege and the freedoms that come with our democracy.Thank you Justin Trudeau for serving our beloved country. 🇨🇦 #trudeau #canada #canadianpolitics
