The Economist: Two groups are least happy about Labour’s budget
British farmers are preparing to protest the Labour government's upcoming budget, which is expected to impose higher taxes on businesses and agriculture. The rally in Westminster on November 19 aims to express their dissatisfaction with the government's financial plans, which some believe will align Britain more closely with European practices.
The budget has also drawn criticism for potentially exacerbating existing issues in various sectors, including higher education. Observers note that the Labour government may be adopting some of the previous Conservative administration's less favorable policies.
GB News: Keir Starmer 'doesn't understand' you can't 'tax yourself out of hard times,' says Errol Musk

Breitbart: Fellow Assassination Survivor Fico Hails Trump, Defeat of Progressivism
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, criticizing media bias and expressing concerns over foreign interference in elections. He emphasized the need for Slovakia to maintain its sovereignty and criticized the EU for limiting bold political actions.
Fico, a vocal opponent of military aid to Ukraine, linked his own assassination attempt to media hostility and claimed that the environment created by political opponents can lead to violence. He anticipates a shift in U.S. foreign policy under Trump, particularly regarding the Ukraine war.
The Economist: Donald Trump also won a reprieve from justice
Donald Trump has secured a legal reprieve, allowing him to potentially quash federal charges and delay sentencing for felony convictions until after the 2024 presidential election. This development raises questions about the impact on his campaign.
Polls have consistently underestimated Trump’s support, and recent statehouse races indicate a challenging landscape for Democrats. The Republican agenda may be influenced by internal negotiations, while public sentiment shows alignment on issues like voting reform and criminal justice.
Breitbart: NBC's Mitchell: Trump 'Bound' Biden on Afghanistan with Deal Biden Could Have Gotten Out of
During MSNBC’s coverage of the 2024 election, Andrea Mitchell criticized President-Elect Donald Trump for claiming he bound Joe Biden to withdraw from Afghanistan. She noted that while Trump made a deal with the Taliban, Biden had the option to reject it.
Mitchell emphasized that Trump's assertions are perceived as truth-telling, but she argued they are misleading. She also referenced Trump's invitation to the Taliban for talks at Camp David, which was ultimately halted by advisors.
Le Monde: The Republicans' historic feat
Donald Trump's victory in the November 5 presidential election marked a significant shift in the Republican Party's appeal, particularly among Hispanic voters and the working class. This change reflects a broader recomposition of the American electorate, as Trump has successfully attracted diverse demographics, including some Black men.
The Democratic Party's failure to address economic frustrations and immigration issues has contributed to this transformation. Despite controversies surrounding Trump, including the Capitol riot, voters prioritized his policies over past actions. The upcoming challenges for Democrats will be to address these concerns or risk further losses.
Breitbart: Democrats Retreat from Transgender Extremism After Trump Win
Democrats are distancing themselves from extreme transgender ideology, concerned it may alienate voters as Donald Trump returns to the political scene. New York Rep. Tom Suozzi emphasized the need to avoid pandering to the far left, particularly regarding biological boys in girls' sports.
This shift contrasts with previous Democratic messaging, where figures like Masha Gessen advocated for a more progressive stance. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough noted that a significant majority of Americans oppose men competing in women's sports, suggesting Democrats should reconsider their approach.
The Economist: Opinion polls underestimated Donald Trump again
Polls underestimated Donald Trump again in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, reflecting a persistent error across various surveys. This has implications for statehouse races, where Democrats also faced challenges, indicating a deepening political divide.
Trump's potential to influence governance is highlighted by his ability to manage his legal challenges and the dynamics within the Republican Party. Voter sentiment appears to favor certain reforms, but the Democrats may need to reassess their strategies to counter Trump's appeal.

The veteran's remarks highlight concerns over the timing of the demonstration coinciding with a day dedicated to honoring fallen soldiers.
Breitbart: Van Jones: Need to Look at Social Media Regulation, They're Big and Musk Has a Lot of Power
During CNN's election coverage, Van Jones highlighted concerns about Elon Musk's influence through campaign donations and ownership of Twitter/X. He argued for the need for new regulations on social media and campaign financing, stating that the current system allows for undue influence by wealthy individuals.
Jones emphasized that while Musk's contributions to technology are commendable, the structural issues surrounding money in politics and social media regulation require urgent attention. He noted that the conversation about necessary reforms is not currently taking place.
Le Monde: 2024 US elections: Abortion rights guaranteed in 7 of the 10 states that held referendums
On November 5, 2024, alongside presidential and congressional elections, Americans voted on various local referendums, including abortion rights in 10 states. Most aimed to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
While measures to protect abortion rights passed in Democratic states like New York and Colorado, and in some Republican states, voters in Nebraska and South Dakota rejected similar amendments. The results indicate a complex landscape where voters can support both Republican candidates and abortion rights simultaneously.
