A couple of smaller ones which probably didn't deserve their own post

In Hungary, the departing members of Orban's parliament were expecting severance pay on the way out of government...only for Peter Magyar to tell them he had paid that money, to a Ukrainian orphanage

In Minnesota, the state senate democratically voted to ban predictions markets such as Polymarket, and within an hour Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche sued in an attempt to block the ban, which definitely doesn;t ask approximately 53 questions right off the bat
 
Labour really are trying to throw the Makerfield byelection, aren't they?

Last week we had Streeting say he wanted to rejoin the EU to try and bait Burnham into agreeing with him knowing it would potentially lose him votes, and now Starmer is pledging to campaign in Makersfield personally to get Burnham elected knowing full well he's as popular as one of Jeffrey Dahmer's farts in a lift on a hot July day

Nothing says strong leadership like openly trying to sabotage their own party to cling to power!

Yesterday's Metro with some blatant agenda-setting, with a half page accusing Sturgeon of fiddling the finances - and a small boxout underneath with Farage's latest dodgy dealings tucked right underneath it
Murrells corruption is pretty bad, but is but a pimple on the arse of Farages criminal enterprise. But yeah...let's focus on Scotland.
<doh>
