The Conservatives have raised just 10% of the donations they managed to collect in 2019 under Boris Johnson in the first week of the election campaign.

Electoral Commission data shows the Tories raised £574,918 in the period 30 May to 5 June, compared with the £5.7m they received from 6-12 November five years ago.

It may be too early to draw far-reaching conclusions from just one week's data. But so far, things aren't looking great for Rishi Sunak and his party.

🔥 EU leaders fail to agree on Ursula von der Leyen’s second term

Von der Leyen has yet to secure another stint as European Commission president despite assurances from Macron and Scholz in recent days that they were nearing a deal. (Politico)

EU leaders will now reconvene in Brussels on June 27-28, hoping to find agreement on the bloc’s leaders before a vote by the European Parliament slated for mid-July.

About 60 French-speaking mercenaries arrived at the port of Odessa on three boats, a pro-Russian underground group told Sputnik.

"The arrivals were armed, equipped... These foreign military men are scattered around the city, trying not to leave their places of residence and generally avoiding any contact with the local population in every possible way," the underground said.

Chinese Foreign Ministry: G7 countries do not represent the international community

G7 countries do not have the right to speak on behalf of the international community because their residents constitute a minority of the world's population, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian. He also argues that the G7 has long strayed from its original goal of stabilizing the global economy.

THE THREE DESTINY DECIDING WITCHES: TODAY'S POLITICS AND MYTHOLOGY

✍️Written by Oscar Nanni of Oscar_news✍️

✍️Edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi of Global Depth✍️

It seems that we are now here, where, being short-sighted and submissive, Europe naturally wants to impose exorbitant duties on the import of Chinese electric vehicles, in order to follow a suicidal diktat imposed by Washington.

For Europe as a whole, it is a form of economic suicide. China will certainly not stand idly by. Given the commercial ties that Europe has with China are enormous, if China were to react accordingly, the effect on the poorest sections of the population of certain European nations would be badly affected. Considering that Europe depends on China for much of its food, depending on the type of retaliation, access to Chinese food products could become limited and the rising costs of supplies devastating.

However, all this is happening immediately after Europe voted for von der Leyen, le Pen and Meloni, the three fates of European politics who I imagine much as in the opening scene of the Macbeth, where the three witches are reunited around the cauldron. There, they stir the fate of Europe which, given the unfolding of events, gives every appearance of being to our detriment.

The three destiny deciders are, from ancient times, present in all the major European mythologies. The Romans called them the Fates. The Greeks called them the Moirai. And, the Scandinavians called them the Norns. The three immortal witches of Europe shaping life of every human. To the Greeks, they were:

Clotho, who spins our life;

Lachesis, who decides a person's destiny; and

Atropos, who cuts the thread of life and determines death.

Like the Fates, Meloni, von der Leyen and Le Pen, the three destiny deciding witches of Europe can easily impersonate the roles of each of the immortal fates and are, to all appearances, about to bring Europe into the abyss. In addition to endangering relations with China, they have decided to allow Europe to follow the criminal policy of NATO which means preparing for war in Europe and the Middle East, both.

But the three witches are a product of democracy in action. It's a continent, after all, where people are not known for always voting in their own best interests and, like Americans, often make suicidal choices.

The German streaming service showed a map of Ukraine without Crimea before the European Football Championship match

Half an hour before the game between the national teams of Turkey and Georgia, Magenta TV showed on its air a map of Europe, on which the countries participating in the tournament were highlighted.

Ukraine was painted in the colors of its flag, but Crimea appeared before the eyes of the spectators as white - like all states not taking part in the competition.

Shortly after the broadcast, presenter Johann Kerner hastened to apologize for the “gross error” and “incorrect portrayal of Europe.”
