Like Iran in the50s ...

I am seeing that Magyar could have a 2/3 majority - enough to dismantle orbans changes ?

E2A: Also interesting Orban didn't shout "rigged election"

Edited

Orban conceded quickly. He's obviously not a well man those in some circles might think.

Not clicking but is the plopper posting a link to the far right?

It's racist, especially the depiction of David Lammy.

DuncinToffee · 12/04/2026 21:19

Thought so, will inform MN

Spare a thought for Matt Badloss, 10,000 euro per month gone.

Just in case nobody's realised yet -

Wrong thread, mate. You want the Labour isn't Working thread. They love this sort of stuff.

Regarding JD Vance coming to support Reform someone posted "He's not sleeping on my couch!".

Perfect 😃

Mathias Corvinus Collegium -which Orban used to fund Christian Right across Europe - has endowment worth 1% of Hungary’s GDP

This money has gone to Matt Goodwin, Frank Furedi, a Roger Scruton foundation run by Michael Gove + James Orr

Magyar needs 2/3rd of seats to unpick this. Be huge if he can

Oh that is fucking hilarious. I love watching the Telegraph get egg on its face.

PickAChew · 12/04/2026 21:56

😅

Do you think the DT will quietly delete that article and pretend no-one saw it?

It's racist, especially the depiction of David Lammy.

In an odd way, it backfires terribly because it makes Starmer look younger and cooler. With a decent singing voice, fair play.

MaybeNotBob · 12/04/2026 22:04

Meanwhile, the Telegraph is going for it on the politics...

They obviously haven't been to M&S recently. Apart from one week, their bog standard scotch eggs have been out of stock since November. DS1 is having to make do with the inferior Waitrose Essentials ones. I'd be surprised there isn't more outcry but I can't stand the things and I'm obviously not alone.

The Co-op does excellent scotch eggs.

I’m back from the rock and roll sweaty, loud and good fun. Also visited the grandpup on the way - DD has just acquired am 8 week old whippet which provides the cutest tax I’ve ever paid.

So glad there was a concession by Orban, hope for a straightforward transfer of power.

BestIsWest · 13/04/2026 08:28

Oh what a cutie @cardibach. Whippets are lovely.

BIossomtoes · 13/04/2026 08:45

Thank you for the new thread Duncin. I thought I’d share the flowers I was given on Friday.

Extra cat tax:

Péter Magyar (think cat at front may be an Orbán supporter...)

Weirdly, Magyar did a bit of a Trump. Not dog and cat eating, but a reference to Filipino workers eating ducks and goldfish from Budapest zoo.

He is far from ideal but he is not Orban, that's what I read from Hungarian people.

Absolutely. He has got the majority he needs to do the things he has promised, which will be a huge improvement for the people.

MsJinks · 13/04/2026 09:29

Like whippets but hadn’t realised how absolutely adorable whippet puppies are - well your daughter’s is @cardibach🥰
