Podcast: The Dick And Denzel Are Coming Home Edition
New prime minister Dick Schoof stepped up onto the world stage this week, calling in on Ursula von der Leyen before heading to the Nato summit in Washington. His meeting with fellow debutant Keir Starmer was overshadowed by Oranje’s last-minute defeat to England in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 and a penalty decision that made Ronald Koeman see red. A local politician in Rotterdam has his house set on fire while another in Friesland is forced to move out of the area. And Schiphol airport is bracing itself for another summer of chaos and delays caused by a shortage of security staff.
