      Opposition parties take lead in Thai election

      Opposition pro-democracy parties took the lead in an early vote count in Thailand’s national elections, which appeared to signal a firm rejection of the military-backed government that has ruled the country for almost a decade. According to a preliminary count of more than 80% of the 95,000 polling stations, the progressive Move Forward party had a projected 114 of 400 constituency seats in the House of Representatives, while Pheu Thai had 112 constituency seats.

      Ukraine leaves Putin red-faced as it shoots down ‘unstoppable’ Russian missile

      Vladimir Putin was left red-faced by Ukraine once again after trying to destroy an American-made Patriot defence system with a missile he once claimed was “unstoppable”. Two of the air defence systems arrived in Ukraine just a few weeks ago, and one in Kyiv was targeted by Russian troops. But Ukraine shot down Russia’s hypersonic missile using the air defence system without a hitch. US officials said they believe Russians may have picked up on the signals emitted from the Patriot system, which allowed them to target it. The Patriot system’s counterattack marks the first known successful use of the advanced air defence system only weeks after it arrived in Ukraine. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has previously said that the…

      Keir Starmer to give millions of EU nationals the vote

      Sir Keir Starmer will hand the vote to millions of EU citizens if Labour wins the next general election, the Telegraph can reveal.
