    UK here. We just switched to a Labour government a few months ago and it turns out that the previous Conservative government blew a £22 billion hole in the economy and didn’t tell anyone, so now the new government have to deal with it by raising taxes which is pissing everybody off.

    In particular, they’re changing the way inheritance tax works which is screwing over farmers, so they’re now doing mass protests.

    India

    Manipur seems to be still burning.
    There seems to be ‘understanding’ with China on border issues

    If you were asking about election news, the RW party, got a 3rd term and is 6 months in. They did lose seats and had to form a coalition govt. So their plans to rewrite the constitution seem to be on a hold.

    A protestor from a few years ago got sentenced to 10 years in prison, as well as some others with shorter periods (still a few years).

      The FDP sucks, I’m glad the SDP and Grünen stayed their ground.
