With that, Europe's "super election year" starts early. To come in 2027: French presidential & legislative elections plus general elections in Estonia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and major state elections in Germany. Roughly 6 in 10 EU voters at polls in a span of c.12 months.

Sánchez calls elections for November 29. Odds strongly against him but history suggests it would be unwise to write off the great survivor of Spanish politics entirely. The timing is typically canny: seizing moment where the national conversation has turned from migration to housing.

The obvious questions regarding the Kindertransport is: why it was privately run and didn’t permit Jewish parents to accompany their children? There is continuity between the British govt’s refusal to accept hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees and its present-day refusal to accept refugees
Excellent article on British awareness of the Nazi death camps and ambivalence over Jewish refugees.
