Autumn is amazing in the Hungarian countryside, especially if you ride it on your MTB. I'm the other guy in the video in the yellow helmet, and the chap who shot it, Péter Magyar is not the Hungarian PM, but an old friend with the same name. facebook.com/share/v/19mcrq7…

Today marks the third anniversary of László Sólyom's passing. He was the first head of the Constitutional Court, and the third President of the Republic in post-communist Hungary. In his latter capacity he was my brilliant boss. We observed the day at his Budapest resting place.

I know what you're going to watch tomorrow!
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the leader who has got a grip on illegal migration, has spoken to @miriam_cates for his first ever British television interview. Tune in to Britain's Newsroom tomorrow from 09:30am, only on GB News.

Impressive piece! The wonder of first hand experiences with an open mind and genuine interest. If you want to undetstand Hungary follow Miriam's example and spend some time there!
Why won’t British conservatives engage with Viktor Orbán? The squeamishness of our mainstream political right tells us everything we need to know about Britain’s failure to conserve itself.  A 🧵 1/ conservativehome.com/2026/01…

Huge congratulations to Hungarian-British author David Szalay on winning Booker Prize last night for Flesh. I know what my next book to read is going to be, and I guess I know yours too.
"I very successfully persuaded myself that I wasn't going to win... There was a sort of sense of shock." Author David Szalay reacts to winning the Booker Prize last night for his novel, Flesh. #R4Today

✅ Decision reached: President @realDonaldTrump has guaranteed full sanction exemptions for the TurkStream and Friendship pipelines, allowing Hungary to continue providing families with the lowest energy prices in Europe. Thank you, Mr. President!
