imo a significant part of Geese's appeal is that cameron winter is a 23 year old who sings about wives and taxes
gen z, as understood by millenials and gen x (which is also how zoomers understand themselves)

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants

Not content with hurling abuse at refugees on beaches. British far right grifters are now harassing homeless refugees living under bridges in Paris.
🚨 Ce soir à Paris, sous la ligne 2, des identitaires britanniques font le tour des campements de personnes exilées, afin de créer du contenu pour les réseaux sociaux. Sur fond de propos racistes, l’objectif est clair : alimenter la peur et la haine chez leurs compatriotes.

The Epstein scandal is a scandal not of Trump alone but of the U.S. ruling elite. Watch out for insufficient political prosecution of the issue by centrists because it can’t be aimed at Trump alone, it also implicates the Clinton wing of the Democrats and their financial backers.

A yank literally killed a British citizen in a hit and run in the UK and got away with it because of diplomatic immunity
One of the best pieces of research looked a which nations' UN diplomats in NYC used diplomatic immunity to violate parking laws with impunity. UK, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Netherlands did not. Other nations' elites, not so prosocial or trustworthy. The chief malefactors:

📢🧔🏻♂️ Il y a 7 ans, une grenade m’a arraché un œil. Aujourd’hui, j’ai vu le visage du policier qui m’a éborgné. Ça ne rend pas la vue ni n’efface la douleur, mais ravive la mémoire et la justice que je réclame. Je n’ai pas de haine, mais je refuse l’oubli. #Justice

Britons tend to think it was the right decision to ban fans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa next month, a fixture classified by West Midlands Police of being 'high risk' Right decision: 42% Wrong decision: 28%

Rémi Cardon says that the Elysée is spreading a rumour about a deal w/ the PS, that it's false, PS position is that they've received no clarification and if they aren't listened to they will censure without hesitation.
L’Elysée propage une rumeur qui voudrait qu’un « deal » a été conclu pour éviter la censure du gouvernement Lecornu II. ❌ Faux. Nous démentons formellement cette intox présidentielle. Notre position n’a pas changé : nous n’avons obtenu aucune clarification. Si nous ne sommes

Although not a threat of censure Edouard Phillipe, whose party Horizons forms part of the presidential coalition, is threatening to pull his troops from direct participation in the govt. Phillipe has eyes on 2027 and called for Macron to quit the other day.

Parisien doubling down on the claim there is a noncensure agreement between the PS and the Macronists, in exchange for unspecified concessions on pensions.
Emmanuel Macron a échangé ce soir avec Olivier Faure, lequel a expliqué qu’il n’y aurait pas de censure a priori et à condition que leurs exigences soient entendues, notamment sur les retraites

If this is true - and there is no deal then Lecornu is probably cooked from the off (again) if the PS agree not to censure and LR do too then this can limp on for a bit. Why you would want to tie yourself to the Macron Hindenburg at this juncture is another question.
🔴 Info @lopinion_fr | Le bras droit d’Olivier Faure @PJouvet dément complètement l’existence d’un deal avec le PS pour reconduire Sébastien Lecornu. « Il n’y a absolument aucun deal avec le PS. Nous n’avons aucune assurance ni garantie. Tout ça est de l’intox totale. »

FLEP24 in violent split with Macrlon backing Macron while Olly remains FIRMLY on the side of Gabriel Attal.
I urge Macron to reach out to me on my personal cell phone number to talk. I stand ready to serve in his new government, and look forward to governing the country for all the French people.

PS denying they've made a deal with Lecornu (Macron) as reported by Le Parisien.
