Earlier, Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Guillas, said that Ukraine would not receive a penny from the EU budget until Hungary receives the money it is owed from European funds, as unanimous support is needed to change the EU budget.

🗣 Canada has been an extremist safe haven for decades

"The Canadians took in lots of these Khalistanis. Essentially the Canadians gave shelter to terrorists and criminals who had been wanted in India. And India gave Canada lots of evidence that these people were wanted in India, that they have committed crimes in India. But the Canadian government always turned a blind eye to what happened. In 1982, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi visited Canada and she spoke to Pierre Trudeau, the father of Justin, and she requested the Canadian government to hand over some terrorists. And she presented the evidence as to why we wanted them. But Trudeau refused to do that," Abhijit Chavda, Indian geopolitical analyst, told Sputnik.

🇬🇧 UK on track for biggest tax hike since WWII, according to a think tank

At the last general election in December 2019, tax revenues accounted for some 33% of national income. They are now on track to rise to 37% under Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt's reign at the treasury, the London-based economics research institute estimated.

"The government may decide to announce tax cuts in the run-up to the next election. But there is no world in which this parliament – or indeed the period since Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister – turns out to be anything other than a tax-raising one. In fact, it is currently on track to be the biggest tax-increasing parliament since comparable records began," the report said.
