"Exit polls pointed to an almost photo finish, with the SPD having polled 31.3% to the AfD’s 29.5%, and with both parties making gains of 5 to 6 points on their performance last time. The fledgling leftist conservative Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), a pro-Kremlin party which has called for military aid to Ukraine to be halted, secured 12%, making it a likely contender in a new administration.

With much considered to be at stake in the election, turnout was high at 74%.

According to the exit polls, the conservative CDU secured just 12%, its worst result in the state’s history. The Greens, predicted to fall short of the requisite 5%, were facing a nailbiting wait to see if they would re-enter parliament, with exit polls showing the party on just 4.6%.

The Free Democratic party, which like the Greens partners in the increasingly fractious three-way federal government, appeared to have received less than 1%. The leftwing Die Linke, on 3%, looked unlikely to enter parliament for the first time since its founding in 2007."

Joshua floored in first round.

Yeah, very good points Tro.

Yeah, i know Owen Jones can be daft as a brush, but its not a good look.

You both make good points though, as ever.

No sign of mick again.

Owen Jones.

"Saudi Arabia is a murderous dictatorship which beheads dissidents, oppresses women, and slaughters innocent people in Yemen.

The Foreign Secretary taking £10,000 from a pro-Saudi donor again underlines that this is a government with no moral core."

Why do they keep doing this?

Tro,

Im not great with all this smart stuff either.

Thunderstorms due, if it is the phone line, OpenReach are going to be busy.

Tro,

If its trouble with the phone line, BT can be very slow to fix.

Tro,

Perhaps its an internet connection issue.

Tro,

Do you know if mick uses a mobile device, like a smart phone?

Hi nom,

Gove promised higher standards for livestock and food production, less chemicals and more consideration for the environment. Brexit bonuses.

Gove, in making these comments, seemed to be of the impression that EU standards are a ceiling not a floor.

That, or just not telling the truth, lol.

Hi kenny,

I do not understand why the police themselves would be so very troubled by the release of the additional footage on the Manchester airport assault.

Footage which better informed the public, and to some degree offered context for the actions of the officer, who was previously being vilified by the incomplete picture of events offered by the original footage.

Correction - wonder.

Hi kenny,

Most of the institutions we rely on, specifically their ability to perform their intended function, is increasingly being hampered by a warped sense of what is, or isn't acceptable, loosely based on inherited characteristics or ideological motivations.

It is little wondered the police feel unable to perform their basic duty to the public - keeping us safe - when those above them seem more concerned with the politics of any given situation than the well-being of the officers involved or the wider public.

It is this mindset which allows our politicians to describe an event featuring 350 arrests, 8 stabbings, with 50 officers assaulted, firearms, machetes, and two people murdered - as "largely peaceful".

These same politicians would not describe another public gathering, with anything approaching these statistics, in the same way. In fact, they would likely be outraged and demanding action. It is simply the cultural identity of the event which grants it immunity from criticism.

Imo, public trust in our institutions cannot be maintained under such conditions.

As an aside, i like the carnival, and dont particularly want it moved or meddled with to any great degree.

Hi kenny,

Looking at the EU figures.

They are paid at least double, and more often than not, many multiples of their European counterparts.

The only country that even gets close is Denmark, a nation with an unusually high national average wage, and even then UK drivers are paid considerably more.

After the latest pay increase, UK drivers are going to be earning over 300% more than the EU average for the same work.

No wonder the Gov are trying to hide the figures.

Wage range of £53 - £87 grand, before the Govs pay increase.

So some are going to be on about £100,000 now.

Hi kenny,

From the BBC:

"The government has refused to release a figure of what the average salary of a train driver will be following the pay rises".

lol.

Some of the papers suggesting £70 grand+, for a four-day week.

Making me laugh.

Zak on KEFI:

"Focusing on the Arabian-Nubian shield since 2008, is a long time. As far as jam tomorrow companies are concerned, KEFI seems to be the leader. It would appear that the tomorrow may not actually be in the 21st century. Hopefully, funding news will be received before the year 2100."

lols.

Tro,

Its taking like 30 seconds to register a recommend, lol.
