Quite to the contrary, Kenya has not expressed support for any candidate at this point. We are following keenly the ongoing campaigns for UNSG including the expression of interest by new candidates and are confident that a candidate with the capacity to lead the UN at this critical juncture will not only receive our support but that of the majority of Members of the UN.

I held a constructive meeting with European Investment Bank (EIB) Director General Andrew McDowell to advance our partnership in delivering Kenya’s roads and transport infrastructure.
We reviewed progress on the Kwa Jomvu–Mariakani road dualling, now 44% complete, and the proposed BRT Line 3, focusing on resolving implementation challenges and accelerating delivery.
Through our partnership with the European Union and EIB, we are mobilising innovative financing and private sector investment to strengthen connectivity, ease urban mobility and position Kenya as a regional trade and logistics hub along the Northern Corridor.
I appreciate the EIB’s continued support as we advance infrastructure that drives economic growth and creates opportunities for Kenyans.

Simon Heffer’s review of Liz Truss’s new book Bank Job in the Telegraph.
‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy.’

Democrats should realize that what Meta did in Brazil, they and other social media companies will do in the US in 2028 unless they are made to understand they will face criminal penalties for it

Toutes mes félicitations @LulaOficial pour ta réélection.
La France et le Brésil ont beaucoup à construire ensemble.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Mi corto análisis sobre el resultado de la segunda vuelta en Brasil. ¿Por qué ganó Lula? Bolsonaro no pudo enmendar su error en el último debate.
A dos días del balotaje más polarizado de Brasil, Bolsonaro cometió el peor error táctico de su campaña: en pleno debate final, recurrió al ataque personal llamando a Lula da Silva "el 9 dedos".
El insulto pretendía ridiculizar la discapacidad física del líder del PT, pero se transformó de inmediato en un bumerán político demoledor.
En vivo, ante decenas de millones de votantes indecisos, Lula no se victimizó; contraatacó con precisión: recordó que perdió su dedo meñique a los 19 años en una prensa metalúrgica, víctima de la precariedad y la falta de seguridad laboral que sufren millones de obreros en Brasil, para rematar con un golpe demoledor: "Cosa muy distinta a usted, Bolsonaro, que nunca ha trabajado".
En apenas segundos, Lula desarmó la burla clasista, expuso la desconexión del mandatario con la clase trabajadora y resignificó su herida como un símbolo de esfuerzo y dignidad frente al privilegio.
Bolsonaro convirtió un debate decisivo en su propia trampa.

I reckon this was the moment which changed the course of Brazilian history.
Flávio Bolsanaro threw away his lead after he mocked Lula losing his finger. It looks like corrupt mayors then tried to stop people voting in pro-Lula areas.. and the fascists still lost!

On behalf of the government and the people of South Africa I congratulate my dear brother and friend, President @LulaOficial and the people of Brazil.
This victory will echo beyond the shores of Brazil. It is a victory for the global south and progressive forces throughout the world.
We affirm our commitment to continue strengthening bilateral relations between our two countries and working closely together in all multilateral fora to forge a just and better world order underpinned by solidarity and adherence to international law.

¡Gran victoria de @LulaOficial!
Lo que ha pasado en Brasil, pasará en España.
La remontada del progresismo global acaba de comenzar.

Brazil just voted like two countries.
The farm belt went to Flávio Bolsonaro, with 63% in the South and 60% in the Center-West.
The Northeast went to Lula with 69%, a margin of 13.6 million votes that decided the race.

HARRY: TAKE NOTE: THIS is how a REAL prince does a chat show!!
One brother goes on television to champion a global issue. The other never sits on a sofa without making it all about himself.
Last night Prince William became the first royal ever to take a seat on Graham Norton's famous red sofa, and what a brilliant move by the future King it was. The studio audience gasped and cheered as he walked out to join Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham and Robert Irwin, all long-time champions of his Earthshot Prize, for a special edition that airs tonight on BBC One.
He came to talk about the prize, and explained that years of environmental "negativity and doom" had got him down, so he decided "we could do something more powerful and more optimistic" with an awards ceremony that could "talk about urgency and optimism together". This is a mature, focused man who looks outward and sets goals he means to reach: five Earthshots, £1 million for each winner, a personal commitment to the prize until 2030, and next month he will be in Mumbai handing out the awards.
And he was so clearly enjoying himself. He finished the night warm, relaxed and engaging, by every account — without a trace of self-pity.
Consider the manchild. Harry's offering this month has been a MasterClass, Redefining Grief, followed by a GQ interview in which he complained that "some people don't want it to work out", a line his own spokesman then had to insist was "absolutely not intended as a swipe" at his brother. The word salad minister seems able to think only in the simplest terms, and mostly about Harry. Even now he has moved back to Britain, the whinging is CONSTANT.
William is getting on with his life and giving everything he can. Harry, meanwhile, is reportedly sounding out Diana's friends and family about a documentary to mark the 30th anniversary of her death next August. Nothing is confirmed, but mark my words: the man baby will try to make his next few quid out of his mother's memory. Deep down he knows he is irrelevant with nothing left to offer, and the ghastly narcissist he married is loathed globally and will never be accepted by the great British public.
The future King will be laughing on Graham Norton's sofa tonight, engaging the world on a cause larger than himself. His brother will still be selling his grief by subscription.
