Hundreds of Spanish fascists marched through Madrid on Friday, a day after the country marked the 50th anniversary of divisive right-wing former dictator Francisco Franco's death. The Falange -- an organisation that sees itself as the successor to defunct fascist movements that helped bring Franco to power in a devastating 1936-1939 civil war -- protested against what it calls democratic Spain's 1978 constitutional "regime".

At first sight, few suspected that Francisco Franco might become a strongman capable of imposing a brutal dictatorship across four decades.

Radiant and somewhat surprised, he repeated it on October 26 to celebrate the far right's victory in the midterm elections. In the speech, Milei celebrated the results of the election his party, La Libertad Avanza (Freedom Advances), won 40% of the vote across Argentina and indicated his willingness to work with other political groups. There are dozens of deputies and senators from other parties with whom we can find basic agreements, he said.

This election is a direct result of this fragmentation and instability. The far-right Freedom Party (PVV) led by Geert Wilders dominated the last ruling coalition, but still pulled the plug in July, after less than a year. The various lessons that the Dutch media, political parties, and voters have drawn from this tumultuous experience should be relevant beyond the Netherlands, given that most European countries are struggling with a similar challenge: how to deal with the increasing electoral, ideological and political success.

Kemi Badenoch left the crowd unmoved when she addressed her conference, even as she threw out the red meat of migrant-baiting she thought they wanted. It's not so much that they'd all woken up with a renewed sense of humanity; more that they didn't believe she'd ever be in a position to deliver it. It was, in effect, fake vegan meat. Tories hate that.

It's not just that [Nigel] Farage wants less workers' rights and all those things. Even though he poses as something else, he is now part of a global network of the far right, a global network of billionaires like Elon Musk who want to take away people's rights, take away people's freedoms, and we need to have that argument.

As far-right and anti-immigration influences take hold across the globe, people of colour are often struggling to know where they might feel safe. Encountering occasional racism has been a fact of life for people of colour in most countries in the west. Emboldened by the far-right movements, racist voices are now becoming louder and moving into the mainstream. One of the emergent themes within the therapy room has involved a resurgence of racial trauma, especially for those who have previously experienced significant such harm.

The decision to send former president Nicolas Sarkozy to prison for criminal conspiracy has laid bare France's political divisions. Sarkozy, seen as a mentor to many conservative politicians, was convicted on Thursday over a scheme enabling late Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi to fund his 2007 presidential run. He must serve his sentence while awaiting the outcome of his appeal, and will be the first French post-war leader to serve jail time.

"If I had known this in advance, I would never have organized it," she said in a post on X.

Theirs was a small-P political household. His dad was a social worker, his mum worked for various charities. She was from Mauritius, and now on the telly, the National Front were saying they were going to send people who weren't born in Britain home in six months. I was petrified that my mum was going to get sent home. The ambient racism of 70s and 80s Britain permeated everything. I just remember being scared, Lowles says.

The crosses of St George are retailing for about 2.36 on Temu, depending on whether you want them car-window sized, or big enough to write the words GET OFF MY LAND in the white spaces. Keir Starmer has declared that he is a supporter of flags. Alas, at the time of writing the prime minister's position on other items of tactile fabric remains unclear.

Hasan asks whether Connor believes in democracy. No, Connor replies—he prefers autocracy, identifies as a fascist, idolizes General Francisco Franco, and believes free speech should be abolished after a Catholic nationalist ethnostate is actualized.

"Protests were not uncommon outside the Holiday Inn in Manvers near Rotherham, which housed 200 asylum seekers, but there would be something different about Sunday 4 August 2024."

Johan Forssell, a Swedish migration minister, faced scrutiny after a family member's ties to violent far-right groups surfaced, raising concerns about parental responsibility and accountability.

The now-defunct far-right Identity and Democracy group allegedly spent at least 4.3 million euros in EU funds on unjustified transactions, raising concerns regarding misuse of public money.

Seven MPs from the Freedom party, earning over 12,000 a month from side jobs, reveal hypocrisy for champions of the working class, drawing strong public criticism.

Nakamura responded to the group's stunt on social media, writing: "You can be racist, but you're not deaf... and that's what really bothers you! I'm suddenly the number one topic of debate - but what do I really owe you? Nothing."

Smotrich declared that the offensive is "destroying everything left in [the Gaza] Strip, simply because it is one big city of terror," suggesting an absolute war stance.
