Politics
— Sep 11, 2026
Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt election signals a sharp turn toward hard-line migration policies with potential ripple effects for migrants and overseas workers, as the AfD’s gain prompts concerns from immigrant communities.

Man United Fan Account Jokes That Bayern Munich Have “Learnt How to Win 7-0” After Bundesliga Thrashing
Manchester United fan account @UTDTrey posted a video clip with the caption “Bayern have already learnt how to win 7-0….” shortly after Bayern Munich’s 7-0 victory over Union Berlin (featuring a Harry Kane milestone and Michael Olise hat-trick). The post is light-hearted banter referencing Manchester United’s upcoming or historical vulnerability to heavy defeats (including past high-scoring losses). It is trending in football circles due to the timely link between Bayern’s dominant result, the account’s large following (~1.8M), and classic Premier League/Champions League rivalry trolling.
