Labour had fewer votes in this election than in either of the last two, that's what Gaza's "cost" was to them.

PCP didn't "do reformism". Their "support" of the Geringonça was also never "official", as in they weren't part of the government, it was a minority government that had to compromise to make whatever they wanted pass parliament, and since it was a center-left party in power, they preferred compromise with the left. It was also only done to avoid another mandate by the center-right party (PSD who had the most votes in the election) and their austerity in the prior years. They're one of the most principled communist parties not in power and the major reason for their underperformance is precisely because unlike other reformist parties they've maintained their anti-EU stance and their opposition to Ukraine and support of countries like the DPRK and Cuba. Even the word Geringonça itself means something like "contraption", as in something that could break at any time.

It looks to be grey like most of Africa (a darker grey than Brazil or Argentina, for example), so it might just be "no data".

No extra steps necessary, it's slavery and it's explicitly legal in that hellhole

This is something I'm sure I remember reading about Squid Game

I watch Good Mythical Morning sometimes and this guy is one of the few that usually makes me laugh, good to know he's not a zionist as well.

It was also the capital of Oman for some time in the 19th century

I don't know who made the map, but at least where I'm from in Portugal, growing up I was always told to take my shoes off when entering the house and I rarely see other people not take them off when entering.

I only got it after reading the comments here, it's Germany's flag but the black blends with the background.

The chorus of that song is not good with the reference to banishing Ukrainians and marrying Ukrainian women but the rest of it is a pretty good geopolitical song from the perspective of Palestine.
