The Orange Shields For White Lions Edition - Week 23 - 2025

In the most unsurprising plot twist since James Cameron's Titanic, the Dutch cabinet collapsed this week when Geert Wilders walked out in protest at his own asylum policy. With an election almost five months away, we ask if Dick Schoof's lame-duck cabinet can make more waves on defence, housing and immigration. Meanwhile, Mark Rutte has to figure out a seating plan at the Nato summit dinner that stops a food fight breaking out between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A regional train strike in Utrecht has the same impact on the network as Marjolein Faber on the asylum system. The White Lions of Telstar have a financial mountain to climb as they prepare for top-flight football for the first time since 1978. And the Rijksmuseum proudly shows off a 200-year-old tattooed contraceptive.
