That’s exactly what we did. This #PrimeMinister just hasn’t got any of that connection. There’s been no work done in the run-up to what was obviously being announced”

On the one hand, you have a boy with a big mouth and no accomplishments. On the other hand is a PHD in economics with a massive resume in multiple economies.
Who’s your General in a trade war?
Day four:
While some issues are being discussed, one isnt HECS DEBT. We can talk about having a beer with the Prime ministerial candidates but not EDUCATION costs and spiralling debt.
While we’re at it. UNEMPLOYED? Has the living allowance been raised? At all, does it match inflation? Is it below the poverty line?

Luís #Montenegro was ousted a week ago with a failed confidence vote. Turns out he has kept receiving fees from various companies all along. Legally, but leaving major ethical questions behind.
Not all of the #PrimeMinister' s clients are known, but #Alpac is possibly one of those. That company appears as one of the business pillars of the centre-right party #PSD.
And there is something worth proper journalistic investigation.

#Euronews was bought by #Alpac in early 2022 and its hard link to #Hungary was established about an year ago. The Hungarian state contributed upwards of 40% of the purchase funds. At that time the fact was widely reported in #Portugal, #France and Hungary (to the extent possible).

Reasons to love Australia. My comment of the week goes to Anthony Albanese the Australian PM, on the baby wombat debacle. What a funny, brutal, and flawless response…
“They are gentle, lovely creatures… I suggest to this so-called “influencer”, maybe she should try some other Australian animals, maybe she should try a crocodile.
Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there…”
Abacus poll highlights Mark Carney's organisational and fiscal competence, while showcasing Pierre Poilievre's inexperience and incompetence, as polled Canadians agreed Poilievre is better than Carney at only two things: "party hosting and shelf installation." Sorry Pierre, you can't run a country with soirees and shelving. #poilievre #carney #election2025 #canada #primeminister https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/if-the-next-election-is-a-likability-contest-mark-carneys-arrival-looks-like-trouble-for/article_7829d018-003d-11f0-9ad5-3ff6ef3909ad.html

I’ve no doubt he’ll win it, and I think Mark Carney’s the right man at the right time.

As one time head of the Bank of England, Mark Carney knows more about finance than Trump ever will, and in a Carney/Trump showdown I know who my money’s on…
