CDA roept het rompkabinet op tot terughoudendheid
Kamerdebat: Welkom in dit liveblog! De politieke redactie van NRC volgt vandaag het Kamerdebat over de ontstane crisis in het demissionaire kabinet-Schoof.
Het rampkabinet dat massamoordenaars steunt. Staat vast goed op je CV mensen. De VVD hobbelt achter de feiten aan - er IS al een kopgroep in Europa die de leiding neemt tegen Israël en NL hoort daar niet bij! Schandalig gewoon! Zelfs DE is bijgedraait. Kudos aan Veldkamp

This Yondr pouches debacle is approaching epic proportions. 9mln to buy *phone pouches* rather than investing in SNAs, school counsellors, speech therapists, books, learning aids, extracurriculars, or the AIM programme - you know, things that actually help kids. 😱🙈

After the second world war everyone said "no more". Germans who said "we didn't know" were scorned for decades. Those guilty of the genocide were put on trial. Fast-forward to 2025 and we are WATCHING a full-scale genocide in action and the EU is hesitant to even impose sanctions...💔 @ec.europa.eu

It clearly isn't just about race anymore. Deporting legal immigrants is pure tyranny. Perhaps some administrative 'error' will see Trump's wives deported soon..?
