Logar ging mit hohen Popularitätswerten in die Wahlen, doch die langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit Janša erwies sich als erheblicher Nachteil. Obwohl sich der Oppositionsführer im Wahlkampf bewusst zurückhielt, musste sich Logar ständig zu Jansas umstrittener Politik erklären. Viele Slowenen glaubten nicht an die Distanzierung des ehemaligen Außenministers vom Chef der konservativen Demokratischen Partei (SDS). Pirc Musar hingegen hatte sich als scharfer Kritiker der Janša-Regierung einen Namen gemacht, der unter anderem während der Corona-Krise zahlreiche Angriffe auf Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit vorgeworfen worden waren....

Ahead of Wednesday’s parliamentary group meeting, Conservative House Speaker John Brasard told reporters that the party would ask the speaker to discuss three issues of concern, one of which is the rising cost of living. “The first issue is inflation and affordability. “Obviously with inflation figures in their 40s this morning – the impact this has on Canadians, families, businesses across the country.” Brasar said the party was turning its attention away from issues that could be addressed in the autumn session of parliament, such as hybrid sittings, on issues it said required immediate focus....

He said 400 Russian spies had been expelled from European countries since the start of the war and that the UK alone had refused 100 applications for diplomatic visas for Russia on “national security grounds”....

Shocking scans released by his doctors show how the more than two meter thin rope – which had no handles – was coiled tightly inside the unidentified man’s bladder. This made it impossible for doctors to get it out the way it went in, so they had to cut open his bladder to surgically extract it. The man did not tell doctors why he inserted the rope, but inserting objects into the opening of the penis is a dangerous sex act known as sounding....

In just eight weeks, the government has gone from wanting to deliver the biggest tax cuts in 50 years to raising the country’s tax burden to its highest level since the Second World War. Liz Truss and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wanted to cut taxes – announcing £45 billion of unfunded tax cuts in September – only for their replacements Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt to swing the pendulum back, with an Autumn Statement targeting 55 billion of fiscal consolidation....

“I think we all know that today is a day to celebrate the beginning of freedom,” Harris told a group of about 12 elementary school children at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington. “And think of it from a historical perspective, knowing that blacks in America were not free for 400 years of slavery.” “Let this be a day to celebrate the beginning of freedom, but to speak about it honestly and accurately, both in the context of history and in the context of its current application,” Harris continued during her seemingly impromptu remarks....
