16 year old to get the vote. That means our current Year 7s may be able to vote in the next election.
Will education change in schools to reflect this?

Is it the end of the road for Trump and Musk? Elon Musk is expected to step back from his controversial position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), though insiders say he will maintain influence on President Trump.

โ€œIt's not insignificant that we're hearing about this on the same day that Musk came out a loser.โ€

Muskโ€™s time in the White House might be up - but will he still play a role in MAGA-land?

First, compared with anywhere else in the West, UK support of Ukraine is both strong AND cross-politics. So is dislike of Trump. Only about a quarter of Tory voters have a favourable view on Trump. Even among Reform, it's probably lower than you'd expect.

The most striking result from yesterdayโ€™s German election #btw2025 ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช:

๐Ÿ”น 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map.
๐Ÿ”น The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East.
๐Ÿ”น In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%!

Why is this happening? Hereโ€™s my take ๐Ÿ‘‡
