This is sad: the Børsen, the 17th c. stock exchange building in Copenhagen is on fire. It was designed by the van Steenwinckel brothers, sons of Hans van Steenwinckel the Elder from Antwerp who arrived in Denmark in 1578 and became the king's architect.

This is just an equity market functioning as it should - the fact that it’s seen as a blow is much more revealing than the takeover.

This is one thing France have figured out that the UK hasn’t: French MPs are elected with “substitutes” who take their place if/when they’re appointed to government, and also ministers don’t have to be MPs or senators. Still a (semi-)parliamentary system but no double-jobbing!
