Grilled on his comments by LBC Tuesday, Farage pointed the finger at the police — who in the U.K. do not routinely name suspects under the age of 18. “What happened in Southport would not have been of the same magnitude had the truth been told and told very, very quickly,” the leading Brexiteer argued. “Had those questions been answered, far from stoking riots, it would have actually calmed them down considerably.” The mass stabbing in Southport has sparked days of violence across the U.K., with hundreds arrested.

Beide Direktmandate konnte die SPD für sich gewinnen. Doch diesmal dürfte es eng werden. Die Grünen, FDP und die CDU stellen jeweils einen Abgeordneten. Die SPD Die Vize-Kanzleramtsministerin Sarah Ryglewski hat ihren Rückzug angekündigt — und gibt damit auch ihren Posten auf. Ryglewski entgeht dadurch einem möglichen Wahlverlust, sollte das Ergebnis sich (erwartungsgemäß) verschlechtern. Die Nachfolge ist ungeklärt. Der Seeheim-Dealmaker Uwe Schmidt macht jedoch weiter. Nach aktuellen Umfragewerten und wegen der Wahlrechtsreform könnte es so aussehen, dass die SPD selbst im Fall…
If you’ve seen an esports competition, chances are that there was a big stage with about 10 gaming PCs, each with a young person behind it wearing a look of intense concentration.
