In a stunning political upset, Geert Wilders, the far-right, anti-Islam populist, has secured a massive parliamentary election victory in the Netherlands.
This triumph is reported as one of the most significant in Dutch politics since World War II.
It not only positions Wilders to lead talks for a new ruling coalition but also raises the possibility of him becoming the country's first hard-right prime minister.
Sir Keir Starmer met his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Støre at the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) Summit in Oslo. The prime ministers then sat at a roundtable for discussions over regional security challenges with other European heads of state. The JEF coalition consists of the UK, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. Report by Brooksl.
