Rishi Sunak's Witty & Stern Speech In UK Parliament As LoP Is Viral
Rishi Sunak Speech: Former British prime minister and Conservative leader Rishi Sunak offered some light-hearted advice to his successor, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as he congratulated him for his decisive victory in the recently concluded UK General Election. "Life comes at you fast. Soon, you might be fortunate enough to be tapped on the shoulder and offered a junior ministerial role,” Sunak said during his first official speech as UK Opposition Leader in Parliament, referring to his appointment as a junior Treasury minister before being promoted to Chancellor under Boris Johnson’s premiership. #rishisunak #keirstarmer #uk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more news: https://www.ndtvprofit.com/ Don't enter the stock market unaware.

“Police Had Absolutely No Control!” Bus Set Ablaze And Cop Car Overturned As Riots Break Out
Vehicles were set on fire and a police car was overturned as residents were warned to stay home following an outbreak of disorder in a Leeds suburb. The Home Secretary condemned the “shocking scenes and attacks” in Harehills, east Leeds, where there was a “large” police presence on Thursday evening, with helicopters deployed to the area. A local restaurant owner said the chaos was linked to local children being taken into care, adding that some people in the community responded by setting fires and “throwing stones”. Talk’s Dr David Bull discusses the story with reporter at Yappa App in Leeds Craig Ward, who witnessed the scenes.

The UK’s messy handling of its European Union exit damaged the country’s international reputation, the British minister responsible for EU relations told Bloomberg as his new Labour government seeks to reset ties with its closest trading partner. Successive Conservative governments “tarnished it in their handling of Brexit” by “turning inwards when actually Britain should always be turning outwards to the world,” Nick Thomas-Symonds said Thursday in a Bloomberg interview at the European Political Community summit in Blenheim Palace, England.

Keir Starmer addresses House of Commons after King's Speech
Germany and Pro-Russian relativism. Why does Germany have so many Russia friendly politicians.
Germany and Pro-Russian relativism. Why does Germany have so many Russia friendly politicians.

A mix of different reasons.

(Social) Media propaganda for decades now.

Economy . we are proud of our industry and we conveniently look away as long as we got cheap Russian raw materials to support that industry. Self-induced ignorance.

East Germany being indoctrinated for four decades with Soviet propaganda.

Harsh economic issues after reunification which are still far from being solved.

A history of shying away from military solutions, because, you know, stuff happened in the past. The military and military spending were always looked on negatively by a large portion of society (often by the left wing, due to historical reasons) and lead to a bite-reflex the moment anyone dares to suggest that Russia could not be friendly or that we need more money to support the armed forces.

Anti-Americanism, because it is cool to run around with a t-shirt with a red star on it.

A long history of labour movements and its interaction with social parties (the SPD is the oldest party in Germany), the communist movement and the glorification of the Russian Revolution against "the capital" and authoritarian governments ... without realizing the bitter irony of todays Russia.

A cultural romanticization of our relationship with the Soviet Union and Russia, dating back into the 19th century.

"Complex situation require complex explanation and complex solutions". The combination of COVID, mass migration, Ukraine War, environmental risk realization, economic woes, poverty growth, rising international tensions, winning right wing movements all over the world and multiple other issues is perhaps one of the most complex situation any government in Europe ever faced ... and even with a highly competent government it would be very hard to bring people away from "easy explanation, easy solution" which is so often promised, but never delivered, from populistic movements. And this government is not very competent, especially at communicating.

And of course: between being "pro-Russia" and "against weapon delivery / for target restrictions" is still a fine line.
