The Go Home, Russian Drones, You're Drunk Edition - Week 37 - 2025
Usually Treasury Tuesday is the high point of September, but this year it was overshadowed by Super Saturday, when Dutch politicians stood up on a conference stage and said who they didn't want to form a coalition with. Foreign affairs minister David van Weel asks the Russian ambassador how 19 drones veered into Polish airspace, just as the VVD abruptly changes course on sanctions against Israel. A group of radicalised boomers are accused of plotting to blow up the Nato summit and the mayor of Leeuwarden. And Vitesse Arnhem enjoy the kind of comeback NSC can only dream of as their hastily assembled squad gets ready for a very late kick-off.
