Greens essentially rule out Corbyn defecting to them:

Guess the project will get rebranded as a party?
After the Novara gang were getting so excited about this!

In sort of a cross German-UK news, I can announce that the King is here!
Charles III. is on tour in Germany and it confirms what I always suspected, that Germans deep down long for a monarchy too. Just not the one with the Kaiser and his weird facial hair, but a more democratic version. Like in Britain, you know.
I'm a bit flabbergasted by that development too, since I seem to remember that Charles used to be frequently mocked around here when he was still a prince.
Part of the new Charlesmania has been fueled by our media after they noticed that the King is more or less fluent in German, a talent which he seems to puts to good use on his visit. He also adressed the Bundestag in a part-German/part-English speech.... which was criticed by the Left Party, which came out as the most anti-monarchist political party in our parliament. They took offense that an "archaic" non-elected head of state was given such a privilege.
Charles also met with Olaf Scholz and then he started to eat himself through some organic food markets and organic farms in and around Berlin. Enjoy.

There has always been a bit of this love-hate relationship between our countries since "that thing" happened nearly 80 years ago. Plus the Football.
I have been to Germany a few times and think it is an amazing country. The German sense of self-depricating humour is also criminally underrated as far as I am concerned.
Hoping to pop over with a friend for a couple of Football weekends in Hamburg and Berlin before the end of the year.

A reminder that traditionally Germans were Britain's allies, and the French the eternal enemy :)
