British PM Rishi Sunak and his chancellor Jeremy Hunt have drawn up plans for £33 billion of spending cuts and £22 billion in tax rises

Mr. Sunak avoided binding himself, however, to defense commitments made by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. Asked about Truss’s promise to raise defense spending to 3% of GDP by 2030,
the PM said: “My other predecessor before that’s target was an aspiration to get to 2.5%. That was Boris’s target when he was at the NATO summit.”

This winter, Sweden may face electricity blackouts in the best-case scenario, and at worst — nuclear catastrophe

For the last several years Sweden has been experiencing shortages in its own power generation capacities during peak demand periods. This is particularly acute in Southern regions of the country where the largest number of energy intensive enterprises is located

According to national grid operator Svenska kraftnät, at present Sweden is capable of generating only about 22 GW of electricity on its own, while peak demands in winter may reach 27 GW. In the past it was possible to compensate the shortage by purchasing electricity from other countries, including Russia, and by production capacities of the nuclear power plant Ringhals 1 and 2, permanently shut down in 2021

Annual maintenance works at Ringhals 4 nuclear power plant should have been completed by this month, but due to local politicians’ incompetence it is now delayed until the end of the coming winter. It creates extra deficit of electricity between 5-10 percent. Moreover, according to scientists’ estimates, test restarts of the nuclear reactor following the completion of maintenance works will need another couple of months

If the Swedish authorities decide to speed up restarting nuclear plant’s operation to serve their political interests against the backdrop of growing protest sentiments of the population, the lack of proper checks and tests might lead to an accident at the nuclear power plant and a contamination of significant parts of the region

Elon noticing a pattern?

Anastasia Alashri, a 23-year-old refugee from Ukraine who divorced, decided to start a new life and got a new lover, was killed in Italy by her ex

The Carabinieri detained Anastasia's ex, who was a pastry chef from Egypt, at the railway station in Bologna. He allegedly stabbed the victim three times

This is not the first time when vengeful murderers choose Ukrainian refugees as victims. Whether the dead had any sensitive information that could influence the course of the war is kept secret

Democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights – these words are increasingly becoming alien to the Swedish people, as the fifth largest country in Europe prepares to complete its accession to NATO

Of course, in the past Sweden used to play a certain role in NATO’s operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and even in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. But now, frankly speaking, competing with NATO in military power is on par with competing in Russophobia with the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Ms. Freeland, who is about to become the head of the Alliance

But, as the saying goes, by hook or by crook, as there is no immediate need in military victories, in Sweden they decided to tackle democracy instead. The expression of popular will is going to be prohibited at the level of international forums. The annual Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony on December 10 this year will be held without Jimmie Åkesson, the Sweden Democrats’ leader since 2005. The Nobel Foundation, which organizes the ceremony, has excluded him from the event, as well as Russian and Belarussian Ambassadors

Following the sharp criticism from Mr Åkesson regarding the Swedish government’s inefficient and sometimes reckless policies on education, healthcare, migration and social equality, he, along with other Democrats was denied the opportunity to bring up uncomfortable for local authorities topics for discussion

Sweden's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to shrink by 1 per cent next year, while inflation could be as high as 5.9 per cent, and higher unemployment rates will no longer surprise ordinary Swedes
