Like MPs, Sam and Anne are staggering through until recess. It’s only Wednesday but they have the latest on Labour psychodramas. Today – who was it calling Anas Sarwar before his presser on Monday? The new suggestion is that it was Angela Rayner. But lots of eyes are still on Wes Streeting, who continues to […]

Even among those polled who intend to vote Labour, a quarter (23 percent) believe Starmer should go — and almost one in three (32 percent) said his advisors should go even though they wanted the leader to remain. The fieldwork for the polling was still being conducted when Morgan McSweeney and Tim Allan — two […]

It’s another day of high-level talks across Belgium. First, the EU’s defense ministers meet in Brussels. Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart dive into the Foreign Affairs Council hosted by the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas — with Ukraine’s new defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, also at the table.

Once the €2.5 billion expansion of our Rotterdam refinery is completed in 2027, Neste’s SAF production capacity alone could be […]

While the meeting is not expected to produce binding commitments, it will set a broad political direction for the European Commission, which is due to draw up proposals ahead of a formal summit in late March. “Everyone around the table must … face a moment of truth,” said Manfred Weber, leader of the European People’s […]

Lesser-known politicians such as Socialist lawmaker Jérôme Guedj, who joined the fray last week, are starting early in the hope of using the extra time to build a brand with voters. Guedj joins Philippe and Tondelier, the leader of the Greens, as already confirmed candidates. Others have been more coy about 2027 but appear to […]

Britain’s depleted center-right Tories have been more than happy to depose a figurehead when the going gets tough — but it hasn’t always helped. Theresa May replaced David Cameron as PM in 2016 — but lost the Conservatives’ majority after calling an ill-advised snap election the following year. Liz Truss took over from Boris Johnson […]
