- New statue of Tony Blair in Kosovo town honours ‘Tonibler’ cult
- Date posted
- 9 days ago
- Description
- As sculptor Agon Qosa put some of the finishing touches to a statue of Tony Blair, he thought about what the former British prime minister had done for Kosovo a quarter of a century ago.
Mr Qosa and other ethnic Albanians in Kosovo idolise the former British prime minister for his leadership role during a Nato bombing campaign in 1999 that halted Serb forces’ advances and ultimately helped the small Balkan nation win independence.
Twenty-five years on, he is completing a life-size clay statue of Mr Blair that will be cast in bronze and placed on Blair Boulevard in the eastern town of Ferizaj on 12 June, which marks the end of the 1998-99 Kosovo war.

- Description
- Rishi Sunak took a jibe at Angela Rayner’s tax affairs during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 17 April.
Sir Keir Starmer opened the session by joking that he was “privileged to be the proud owner” of Liz Truss’s new book and took issue with her claim that 2022’s disastrous Budget was “the happiest moment of her premiership”.
“Has the prime minister met anyone with a mortgage who agrees?” he asked, drawing laughter from the Commons.
“All I’d say is, he’d ought to spend a bit less time reading that book and a bit more time reading the deputy leader’s tax advice,” Mr Sunak said, hitting back.
He was referencing the row over Ms Rayer’s previous living arrangements.

- Description
- Nigel Farage has accused Brussels of “cancel culture” after police in the city moved to shut down the National Conservatism Conference.
The former Ukip leader - who served as an MEP for 21 years - was due to give a keynote speech at the gathering on Tuesday 16 April.
However, Politico reports that authorities in Belgium’s capital informed organisers that the event would be “terminated” over the “possibility of public disorder”.
In a post on social media website X, Mr Farage said that “it comes as no surprise” that Brussels have “done their best” to stop the conference from taking place.
“Cancel culture, alive and well,” he added.
The Independent has contacted Brussels police and the National Conservatism Conference for comment.
