Péter Magyar victory speech:
"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

Wall-to-wall coverage of a defection from one party to another, neither of which are in government.
The lobby is addicted to drama. Reform and the Tories serve up drama. And then this forms the majority of the day's news.
Infuriating.

A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).
