Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:22:50 GMT

MADRID — When Maripaz Pérez thinks about Spain’s upcoming national election she gets nervous.Pérez, a resident of the city of Seville, isn’t worried about the tightness of the race or the policies the country’s next government may put in place: The source of her anxiety is the actual date of the vote.“Who on Earth thinks of holding a national election on July 23, a Sunday in the middle of summer, when nearly everyone is out of town?” she complained. “How can they ask people to interrupt their holidays and stand in line in blistering heat just to do their duty as a citizen?”From the moment Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez dissolved parliament in May, there’s been all sorts of speculation over how Spain’s summer election might play out.“We’ve never voted so late in the summer, when at least 10 million of Spain’s 37 million electors are on vacation,” said Pablo Simón, a political scientist at Madrid’s Carlos III Univer...

LONDON — Labour frontbencher Rosena Allin-Khan has found herself with a very different whipping arrangement after securing financial backing from Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James.The British novelist — whose erotic thrillers have sold millions — provided the £5,000 fund to Allin-Khan in May under her real name, Erika Martin.The cash from James, known for storming the literary world with her tales of a BDSM-obsessed billionaire, will be used to help the shadow mental health minister fund a political adviser in her office. The donation appears in the latest register of MP’s financial interests, and POLITICO has confirmed it is the same Erika Martin.The Fifty Shades trilogy, which was turned into a series of blockbuster films, helped make James a multimillionaire, despite being mocked at times for its eye-watering sexual escapades — including peeled ginger root being inserted into various orifices — and tortured metaphors.“I feel the colour in my cheeks rising again. ...

Repatriate British families from Al-Hol

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:22:50 GMT

Rob Williams is the CEO of War Child.Four years on from the military defeat of the Islamic State (ISIS), young women and children continue to be punished for the group’s monstrous crimes.The Al-Hol detention camp in northeast Syria is home to around 50,000 women and children who come from over 40 countries and were once associated with ISIS. Many of the camp’s detainees arrived as young girls. Some went voluntarily, some were groomed, others were compelled to join husbands or were brought to ISIS by their parents. But today, most of the camp’s current residents are young children born into the horror of war, exposed daily to violence and squalid conditions.Faced with this reality, countries with citizens in Al-Hol, whether from America, Europe or Asia, have been gradually allowing them to be repatriated, mostly to recover their lives and, where relevant, to face justice — with few exceptions. And among the most notable countries refusing to undertake the humane repatriation of famil...
