Hard to see how the First Minister of S-A can survive this, if numbers don't change significantly later into the night. The same might apply to Merz. So far the polls are catastrophic for the CDU. #FirstMinister #CDU #Polls #Thetweetmentionsspecificcountriesindirectlythroughthereferenceto"S-A #"whichlikelystandsforSouthAfrica #and"CDU #"whichreferstoapoliticalpartyinGermany.Therefore #thecountrycodesare: ZA #DE
Looks like an extremely high turnout at the crucial German State Election today. Could be good news for the AfD.. Or exactly the opposite. More tonight #GermanElection #AfD #VoterTurnout #DE
That's the same problem that Burnham will soon find himself facing. A level of immigration that low results in a lower the rate of economic growth due to a shortage of labour. The FT recently reported that these low figures could cost the UK 4 billion GBP. #Immigration #EconomicGrowth #UKBudget #UK
A very helpful explainer on what happens if the AfD wins in tomorrows fateful state election in Germany. 👇 https://t.co/9xeiIfQrWm #AfD #Elections2023 #Germany #DE
The interestg question is whether voters who support the pro Putin AfD will now think again. Putin has a different aim: to spread fear and unrest, and thus persuade voters to vote for the AfD, that advocates sacrificing Ukraine in order to be left in peace. We'll see on Sunday. #AfD #Putin #Ukraine #RU #DE #UA
What's happening in Germany before that crucial election this Sunday is open intimidation and constant attacks that could destroy important infrastructure. Hard to call it a "hybrid warfare" anymore. #GermanyElection #HybridWarfare #Intimidation #DE
Next Sunday the AfD cd win an absolute majority in an important State election. It would be a first. And it might serve as a blueprint for AfDs real goal: Berlin in a few years. A very good dispatch from Germany. @olivernmoody https://t.co/hkVwX0kWLQ #AfD #StateElection #Germany #DE
"Their Christianity is not simply a religious belief imposed upon politics. Increasingly, it is a way of making political grievances feel sacred." An excellent insight into the new British Christian far right. 👇 https://t.co/UYUlfrj5dw #ChristianFarRight #PoliticalBeliefs #SacredGrievances #GB
It's maybe time for a long story on @carolecadwalla who had warned and done the work on potential corruption around Farage et al years ago but was instead hounded and insulted and later sued. Even worse, she wasn't listened to at the time. Why not? #JournalismMatters #Corruption #FreeSpeech #Therearenospecificcountrycodesrelatedtothetweetprovided.
The Russian and Trump aligned far right wanted Brexit because it weakened UK and its liberal democracy. They also now want Starmer gone, for the same reasons. And the British rightwing press is helping them. Just a few years ago this wd have been regarded as treason. Now? #Brexit #FarRight #UKPolitics #RU #US #GB
This is something Farage would never have posted only 3 months ago. It’s astonishing how Musk and Maga succeeded in pushing the political landscape even more to the far right. #Farage #MAGA #PoliticalSpectrum #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Very good editorial by the Guardian. Starmer needs to address the dangerous mechanism of far right violence being normalised online to then be spread on the streets. What happened in Belfast has nothing to do with protest against anything. It's racist extremism. #FarRight #Racism #OnlineViolence #GB #IE
And it goes on and on. Starmer needs to speak up much louder against Musk and others who are trying to create hate online in a way that makes British streets increasingly dangerous for ethnic minorities. This has been going on for two years now. There must be a way to stop it. https://t.co/6sxQK1Tdzu #EndOnlineHate #StandAgainstRacism #ProtectMinorities #GB
Farage rarely talks about his close relation to Putin, as it is (still) unfashionable in Britain to support Russia in its war against Ukraine, but you can see where he stands by what his party does. https://t.co/q927jse1hD #Farage #Putin #UkraineWar #GB #RU #UA
