Victory for Labour

Sir Keir Starmer was invited by the King to form a new government
Labour has won a big majority of seats in the House of Commons in the July 4th general election. Great Britain voted for change and put paid to 14 years of Tory majority.
Rishi Sunak‘s premiership has finally ended

👉🏻 BBC: live reporting

The new prime minister and his wife Victoria were greeted by Downing Street number 10 staff
Labour won 34% of total votes cast (only 1.8 percentage higher than in 2019), but will hold around 63% of the 650 seats in the House of Commons. Together, Britain‘s smaller parties won more than 40 percent of the votes, but gained only 17 percent of seats in the parliament.

Today‘s the day …

General election polls have opened this morning. In approximately 24 hours the country will learn which MPs have been elected to parliament, which party will govern Britain and who will serve as Prime Minister.

Six weeks on from Rishi Sunak’s announcement of the vote in heavy rain in front of 10, Downing Street, party leaders have completed their final media appearances of the campaign.

Victory for Sir Keir Starmer would see Labour return to power for the first time in 14 years. Triumph for Mr Sunak would mean an unprecedented fifth term of Conservative rule.

Over the course of the campaign, major dividing lines emerged on tax, net zero policy and private education.

There was also a return to frontline politics for Nigel Farage as leader of Reform UK. Both Mr Farage and Sir Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat leader, hope to take as many seats as possible.

Mit dem selben Ergebnis…

… und dem selben Gefühl einer bitteren Niederlage, wie in Gelsenkirchen gegen Schweden beim WM-Quali-Entscheidungsspiel am 27. November 1973, endete das EM-Achtelfinale gegen die Türkei in Leipzig am 2. Juli 2024:

Österreich 1 Gegner 2.

„Selten wurde eine Niederlage des Fußball-Nationalteams als so bitter und schmerzhaft empfunden“, schrieben die Salzburger Nachrichten in einem Bericht 50 Jahre nach dem Spiel in Gelsenkirchen auf Schneeboden. Vier Jahre später qualifizierte sich das österreichische Team aber nach 20-jähriger Abwesenheit wieder für eine WM. Darauf hoffen wir auch diesmal…

Die letzte WM-Teilnahme liegt diesmal schon 26 Jahre zurück (Frankreich 1998). Und mit einer tollen Leistung wie bei dieser EM hat dieses Team alle Chancen, sich diesmal endlich wieder für eine Weltmeisterschaft zu qualifizieren.

Aber derzeit weint und trauert Österreich einmal, wie damals, über eine bittere 1:2-Niederlage in Deutschland! 🇦🇹

Austria vs. Turkey 1-2

90+4 mins

That was the moment!

Christoph Baumgartner has the chance to equalise and send us to extra time but Mert Gunok produces a sublime save to keep his side ahead! That was celebrated like a goal!

It’s Gordon Banks. Unbelievable. What a moment. The keeper just spins it around the post, it’s a brilliant save.

Christoph Baumgartner was comforted by David Alaba

Definitely the tie of the round. So enjoyable to watch, but unfortunately Austria was on the losing end. They would have deserved to proceed to the quarter final. Anyway, the Austrian team played a brilliant Euro. And in this game they have played their part in a classic.

Goals: Merih Demiral (1‘, 59‘); Gregoritsch (66‘).
