Mandelson private messages to be released today – UK politics live
Sources predict ‘toe-curling’ revelations as more than 1,000 pages of documents relating to his appointment as US ambassador to be published Mandelson files show no mitigation of security concerns Good morning. Many people despair at the quality of governance in Britain at the moment, but in one respect we are living through a golden age; if you are interested in contemporary history, and learning about what actually happens at the heart of government, then you can now – sometimes – access the sort of information never available before. Today the government is publishing a mass of information – apparently running to three volumes, and more than 1,000 pages – containing the private messages Peter Mandelson exchanged with government ministers and officials when he was ambassador to the US, and before his appointment. Last month a minister compared this to the evidence released as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war. But the Chilcot inquiry took place in the era before WhatsApp, and it was publishing secret memos – intended for circulation within Whitehall. WhatsApp messages are a lot more personal; reading them is like being able to eavesdrop on a private conversation. Mandelson is a man with spiky, controversial views, who loves gossip and plotting, and whose private views don’t always accord with what he has said in public. It should be fascinating. I think the level of transparency is going to be unprecedented. The volume of information that’s going to be put out is unprecedented. It’s right we do that. We have been very clear that the appointment of Mandelson was wrong. Continue reading...

Strid om valgresultater i Colombia - går mot ny valgomgang
I presidentvalget i Colombia nekter den venstreorienterte kandidaten Iván Cepeda foreløpig å godta resultatet etter første valgomgang søndag. Cepeda, som er en nær alliert av landets avgående venstrepresident Gustavo Petro, havnet bak den høyreorienterte utfordreren Abelardo de la Espriella. Da de fleste stemmene var telt opp, ledet de la Espriella med 44,2 prosent av stemmene, mens Cepeda fulgte like bak med 41,1 prosent.

Også president Petro sier at han ikke godtar resultatet fra valgopptellingen. – Som president aksepterer jeg ikke resultatet, skriver han i et innlegg på X

Follow today’s news live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Tony Abbott, the new party president of the Liberals, said he wouldn’t get “too excited” by the poll showing One Nation’s surging support. But he told RN this morning he believes the country is in trouble and the Liberal/National Coalition is best positioned to lead the nation. Abbott spoke to RN Breakfast this morning, saying: Our economy is stagnant, our society is fragmenting, our security is imperiled, and yes, we don’t believe in ourselves nearly enough. I think the current government is making all of this worse. And it’s really important that we get a better government as soon as possible. … Obviously, we are in a degree of competition with other parties and voices on the centre-right. But in the end, our opponent, our enemy, if you like, is a really bad Labor government, a really bad Green-left-Labor government. Which in its budget, [has led an] assault on aspiration and wealth creation. The point I make is: if you normally vote Liberal, if you’re interested in public life, if you think our country is in trouble, please don’t complain on the sidelines. Join the party and make a difference. Continue reading...

Valgopptelling i Colombia
Valgopptellingen er i gang i presidentvalget i Colombia Valget står mellom venstreorienterte senator Ivan Cepeda, som har hatt en liten ledelse på meningsmålingene, og høyreekstreme advokat Abelardo de la Espriella.

Bak ham ligger Cepeda med 42,1 %. Hvis ingen av kandidatene sikrer seg over halvparten av stemmene i første runde, vil det bli en runde nummer to 21. juni.

Valglokalene åpnet i Colombia
Første runde av presidentvalget er i gang i Colombia. Meningsmålingene har vist en klar ledelse til senatoren Ivan Cepeda, som i likhet med sittende president Gustavo Petro tilhører den politiske venstresiden. Hans fremste utfordrere er den konservative senatoren Paloma Valencia og advokaten Abelardo de la Espriella, som regnes som en ytrehøyre kandidat. Valgkampen har vært preget av den verste voldsbølgen i landet siden den venstreradikale geriljagruppen FARC la ned våpnene i 2016. Utbrytere fra FARC kjemper om kontrollen over kokainhandel og ulovlig gruvedrift i jungelområder sørøst i landet. Voldsbølgen regnes som et nederlag for forhandlingslinjen til president Petro. Han har forsøkt å overtale ulike geriljagrupper til å slutte seg til fredsavtalen fra 2016, uten større suksess. Cepeda, som var en av arkitektene bak FARC-avtalen, har lovet å fortsette forhandlingsforsøkene, mens de konservative kandidatene vil tilbake til strategien med å slå ned på geriljagruppene med makt. Hvis ingen av kandidatene sikrer seg over halvparten av stemmene i første runde, vil det bli en runde nummer to 21. juni.
