In 2014, National symbolically represented itself as a rowing team cutting through the water. A powerful image of teamwork, determination, and success. In 2026, they're the half-shorn sheep.

Women who defy mandatory hijab laws under repressive police states or in patriarchal societies are brave. And women who wear their hijab in public when they know they could be punched, insulted and assaulted by racists for it are also brave.

If European leaders worry about Trump's retaliation if they invoke their blocking statute to limit Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court, they should remember their economic “bazooka,” which stopped his threats against Greenland. trib.al/ekZ8IV8

Unknown hackers claim to have stolen 421,179 emails from Germany's far-right AfD, exposing Nazi greetings, swastikas and threats against a photographer. The party confirms a breach, but the explosive allegations are still largely unverified.

If proven this could be grounds to ban the AfD.

Leaked documents expose a shadowy international network operating around Alexander Babakov, a sanctioned Kremlin power broker previously linked to the €9.4 million loan that helped finance Marine Le Pen’s Front National. A new investigation by @InformNapalm reveals how French national Geoffroy Doly became deeply embedded in Babakov’s inner circle, gaining direct Russian diplomatic support while developing corporate connections across France, Serbia, Russia and China. What the documents show: - Diplomatic correspondence in which Babakov personally steps in to arrange Doly’s visas. - Travel logs placing Doly with Babakov’s son, Mikhail, and with other people who have been around - Babakov for years, in several countries. -Corporate records linking Doly to businesses in France, Serbia, Russia and China. The revelations raise troubling questions about whether Western intermediaries are helping sanctioned Kremlin elites preserve their influence and power through corporate structures, diplomatic channels and cross-border business relationships. The ease with which a young French national has woven his career into the circle of a sanctioned Kremlin power broker exposes a dangerous blind spot in Western enforcement. The evidence points to an extensive system of relationships that warrants scrutiny for potential sanctions circumvention. Western governments sanctioned Babakov, but the network surrounding him appears to have remained alive. informnapalm.org/en/alexande…

Loathe as I am to create memes with AI... If Luxon, Seymour & Peters hobnobbed with skinhead gangs, how widespread & (un)favourable would the coverage be? What was the public & media reaction to Muldoon shaking hands with gangs in the 1970s?
