Like why did it happen? Who did it?" Emerall's sister, Danica Woolard, said. "Not knowing is what makes it harder to stay positive.” Suspect wanted in attack on Brighton ice cream truck driver Woolard said the reward increase means a lot to the family, as they continue to believe they're just one tip away from justice.“Having information that could lead to an arrest, I think that’s what everyone needs to start healing and moving forward," Woolard said. "We’re all just kind of stuck where we’re at.The reward is well sh...

‘He just loves winding them up’: Could Nigel Farage actually lead the Tories?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:39:46 GMT

LONDON — They’re loving Nigel instead.Tory activists weren’t singing quite that as they belted out Robbie Williams’ “Angels” in the presence of Britain’s foremost Brexiteer Nigel Farage at the Conservatives’ conference this week. But they weren’t far off it.Farage, who left the Tories in the ’90s to lead Britain’s Euroskeptic diehards from various splinter parties including UKIP, was a prominent fixture at the Conservatives’ conference in Manchester this week where he gained entrance as an anchor for GB News.Farage was mobbed and given a hero’s welcome by activists eager to congratulate the architect of Brexit, raising a question: Could he lead those activists as leader one day?It’s unlikely, but not impossible. Step-by-step, here’s how that process would work. 1. Become a Tory memberThe prospect of Farage returning to the Tories is being taken seriously by those present at conference.One diplomat p...

Poland’s election: Big hopes but no quick fixes

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:39:46 GMT

WARSAW — The campaign language ahead of this year’s Polish general election is apocalyptic — painting it as an existential battle for the soul of the EU’s fifth most populous country — but the likeliest outcome is a chaotic stalemate.If the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) hangs on to power for a third term there isn’t much more it can do to wreck Poland without quitting the EU — and there’s little prospect of that. If the opposition pulls off a stunner and wins it will be so hemmed in by PiS-controlled courts and institutions and by a hostile president that it won’t be able to do much more than tweak the optics rather than surgically remove the growths added by Law and Justice.Internationally, Poland is too important to be kept in the deep freeze forever; with a fast-growing economy, a big military and a key role in supplying Ukraine, it is no Slovakia. A PiS win will mean greater efforts to find some accommodation with Warsaw; an opposition vi...

In Granada, backlash grows against Ukraine’s EU accession

GRANADA, Spain — French President Emmanuel Macron will aim to rally countries behind a historic expansion that would integrate war-torn Ukraine and several other candidate countries into the European Union during a gathering of leaders in the Spanish city of Granada that kicks off Thursday.But concerns among member states about the mechanics and viability of such a large expansion present a serious threat to a project Macron and other leaders, like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have staked their credibility.The French leader will make a joint push with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to kick start difficult EU enlargement talks at the third meeting of the European Political Community, a forum created in response to the Russian invasion that includes European leaders from beyond the EU to build a broader, more inclusive European network. Beyond the key question of EU accession for Ukraine, informal meetings will be dominated by high-stakes diplomatic talks about o...

Kemi Badenoch’s conference charm offensive

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:39:46 GMT

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND — The bookmakers’ favorite to become the next Conservative leader launched a dual-pronged assault at the party’s annual conference this week.Publicly, Kemi Badenoch focused her efforts at the Manchester gathering on preaching to Tory grassroots members; privately, she spent a hectic few days courting business representatives from some of Britain’s largest firms.And it was the public utterances of the business and trade secretary rather than her backroom cajoling of well-paid lobbyists and executives which were to prove the most revealing.With speculation at fever pitch that the Manchester event could well be the last major chance for future leadership hopefuls to court party members before a potential leadership contest, all eyes were on the unofficial race leader.And Badenoch did not disappoint, with a range of red in tooth and nail performances on the conference stage and addressing packed fringe meetings.Anyone under the impression that talk of a future contes...
