Australia's socialist leader Anthony Albanese cruises to election victory thanks to anti-Trump bump - just six days after same happened in Canada

-

 Australia's socialist leader Anthony Albanese has cruised to an election victory in a remarkable turnaround fuelled by the so-called anti-Trump bump.

Albanese, 62, has become the first Australian prime minister to win a second consecutive three-year term in 21 years.

He revived his campaign by offering stability against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's volatile diplomacy.

Albanese's centre-left Labor government had been trailing in polls to the conservative Liberal-National coalition as recently as February, but then bounced back as voters grew increasingly alarmed by Trump's tariff threats and sought safe ground. 

His support only grew as Labor drew comparisons between their opponents and the US president.  

'We do not seek our inspiration from overseas. We find it right here in our values and in our people,' Albanese said in his victory speech. 

When Trump imposed a 10 per cent tariff on Australian exports last month, Albanese said the move was 'not the act of a friend'. 

He said he would not compromise with US trade negotiators over Australia's efforts to lower medicine prices for families, and new social media laws to protect children.

  Prince Harry's security issues were 'examined repeatedly' by the courts,   Buckingham Palace   has said in a blunt response to his claims it was an 'establishment stitch-up'.  The  Duke of Sussex  tonight launched a series of scathing attacks on the  Royal Family , saying he has been cut off from  King Charles  who 'won't speak to him'.  He revealed that he 'doesn't know how long his father has left', will not bring his wife or children back to the UK - and said he had had 'so many disagreements' with his family, some of whom 'may never forgive' him for writing a book.

  Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Family were keen to put on a show of unity.  But their choice of display has been described by Kate as 'one of the hardest things' she has ever had to do -  and Meghan hasn't been seen on UK soil since.  During the national mourning period,  Prince Harry  and  Prince William  observed the tributes and spoke to members of the public outside Windsor Castle   - just as they had outside of Buckingham Palace when their mother died.

The shocking reason the Spice Girls have reunited WITHOUT Victoria Beckham: Insiders tell KATIE HIND how the band are back rehearsing and are even planning a tour... but haven't bothered to get in touch with Posh

  It may come as a surprise that, as the band are busily trying to put together another reunion tour, there is still one name missing from the line-up: Victoria, the most famous of all the Spice Girls.  So what's the reason for her being left out of the band's current project, which they hope will culminate into a string of concerts across the globe next year?  https://amzn.to/3YdCV0X For after decades of tension and animosity, the four other Spice Girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton - are again back working with their creator and former manager.  It's all in the hope that the foursome can embark on a potentially lucrative tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut single, Wannabe, next year.
