Anti-EU football hooligan ‘pimp' Karol Nawrocki wins Poland's presidential election after knife-edge vote
ANTI-EU football hooligan "pimp" Karol Nawrocki has won Poland's presidential election. According to the final result from the electoral commission, right-wing historian with a past of football hooliganism Nawrocki, 42, won the election with a slim 50.89% of the votes. 2 Just six months ago, Nawrocki was a fairly unknown name - but in the run up to the election, the historian posted videos of himself at shooting ranges and boxing rings - cultivating a tough-guy image for voters. While his liberal opponent Rafal Trzaskowski played up his European credentials, Nawrocki met Donald Trump at the White House and received the US President's backing. Unlike other eurosceptics in central Europe like Hungary's Viktor Orban, Nawrocki supports giving military aid to help Ukraine in the bloody war with Russia. But he also revealed prior to his win that he will oppose membership in Western alliances for Ukraine. This view aligns with the falling support among Poles for Ukrainians, with the country having hosted more than a million refugees from across the border. His backers in the Law and Justice (PiS) party had supported fast-tracking membership in the EU and NATO for Kyiv while in power until late 2023. Nawrocki's critics said he was fuelling unease over Ukrainian refugees at a time when the far-right is highlighting migration, the cost of living and security. He cited his campaign slogan, Poland First. "Let's help others, but let's take care of our own citizens first," he said on social media in April. Nawrocki's past has been a topic of intense public debate following a series of negative media coverage. Robert Prevost elected as Pope Leo XIV - the first from North American There were questions over his acquisition of a flat from a pensioner -and even an admission that he took part in orchestrated brawls. Nawrocki, an amateur boxer, told a debate when confronted over reports he had been involved in mass organised fights between football hooligans: "All my sports activities were based on the strength of my heart, the strength of my muscles, my fists. "It was a fair competition, regardless of the form." His Law and Justice party backers have accused the government of orchestrating the controversies with the help of Poland's special services and liberal media. Nawrocki portrayed the election as a referendum on the government, which he described as a metropolitan elite out of touch with their concerns. "I am simply one of you," he told voters in the eastern town of Biala Podlaska while on the campaign trail. .

And he's really at the forefront of that. 'Plus, he's just a great guy. When you have a conversation with him, he's the most lovely, intelligent person to talk to and is just so easy-going, so much fun. I love working with him. A really good guy.' The wildlife advocate took part in The Earthshot Prize ceremony in South Africa last year and spoke passionately at the time about the initiative's power to inspire global action. 'The Earthshot Prize is a beacon of hope for all of us who care about the environment and about our ability to ensure a liveable future for ourselves and future generations,' he said. 'Healthy oceans, ecosystems, and species equal a healthy planet, and The Earthshot Prize recognises the importance of investing in and helping grow solutions that protect these critical resources.'

William traversed a rocky climb as he walked up Signal Hill and quipped as he spied the waiting media: 'I'll try not to wipe myself out in front of everybody.' Robert later tweeted a video of him with William, in which he asked the prince what his 'favourite African animal' was. William replied: 'It's a tough question. I think I'm going to have to say the cheetah. Fantastic animal,' and Robert replied his favourite was the chameleon. The prince also spoke with park rangers, firefighters, mountain rescue volunteers, biodiversity experts and youth volunteers in front of the scenic backdrop. They told him about the diversity of fauna and flora and the work they do to protect the environment while ensuring residents and tourists are able to enjoy the area.

Mama June takes first photo in years with daughters Honey Boo Boo, Lauryn Efird, and Jessica Shannon after money drama
Their explosive family drama has riveted audiences for years, with money recently coming between them. But it appears Mama June Shannon and her daughters have overcome their latest differences. Mama, 45, and her daughters Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo, 19, Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, 25, and Jessica 'Chubbs' Shannon, 28, took their first family photo in years as they plugged their latest TLC series, Mama June: Family Crisis, during a Wednesday appearance on Good Day New York. And by the looks of the smiles on their faces, they definitely appear to be on a much more positive path. During their joint interview, the women revealed how Mama June is now an active part of their lives ever since getting sober. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We're so proud of her and how far she's come today,' Alana said of her mother. 'It is kind of nice now to have family dinner on Sundays and like the kids are running around and my mom's able to be a part of that,' Pumpkin said. Alana also said they had things 'figured' out after her mother spent $30k of her money. 'We figured it out and I mean, we're here today, so that tells you something,' she said. Alana, who rose to fame as a young girl and is now in college, recently said she and her mother were in a 'really good spot.' 'Right now we're at a really good spot... We're probably the best we've been in a while,' Alana said on Tamron Hall Show earlier this month. 'I mean, Pumpkin takes the kid over there for like just for my mama to watch them. That's a shocker for me because I never thought Pumpkin would like just leave her kids alone with my mama. So that is a big improvement for sure!' She also touched on her mother's sobriety: 'She's been sober for like three or four years now and she's doing great,' she said. While the famous family are on better terms now, a trailer for Family Crisis - which debuts on We TV on May 30 - shows the brood are still dealing with the aftermath of Mama spending $30k of her daughter Alana's money. The troubled matriarch, who previously admitted she had spent the money but denied any wrongdoing, was filmed being quizzed about the cash by Honey in a tense scene obtained exclusively by People. She said: 'Where's my money' leading a grinning Shannon to pull out a huge plastic check for $30,000. Shannon responds: 'The check is right here' as a distraught Alana says off-camera: 'This isn't a game!' In April 2024 Mama June admitted she spent $30,000 of daughter Alana's money on 'life expenses' including manicures and household bills - while continuing to shut down criticism for not contributing to her college fund. Alana was particularly upset by the news regarding her finances, and she stated that she was considering legal action against her mother, who had attempted to talk her way out of the confrontation. Also affected by the argument was Shannon's husband, Justin Stroud, who stated that he was 'really hurt' by his wife failure to be truthful about her past actions. Elsewhere in the trailer, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, 25, is heard declaring: 'We're getting a f*****g divorce!' as her tearful husband Josh looks on. She also locks horns with sister Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon over their business. The trailer takes an even more shocking turn when a legal adviser says: 'The judge really could sentence you to prison' before Alana declares the family are in for a 'hot mess summer!' Alana previously threatened to cut off her mother after she refused to pay the money she allegedly stole from her. In a 2024 episode of the family reality show, the teenager and her older sister Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon confronted their mother over the money intended for Alana's college education. After the matriarch refused to pay her youngest daughter's tuition, which she suggested would be a 'waste' of money, Pumpkin said Mama June was 'not supportive' and 'lost $500,000 to a bag of f***ing crack'. Their intervention quickly becomes a bitter showdown when Mama June denied the 'betrayal' overall and refused to hand over the money — for which the teenager previously said she will sue and take her mother to court. This comes after the matriarch told exclusively that she spent Alana's Dancing With The Stars: Juniors earnings on manicures and paying her own bills. The family was rocked by the death of Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell at age 29 from cancer in December 2023. Chickadee passed away after battling adrenal carcinoma that progressed to stage 4. June took in Chickadee's eldest daughter Kaitlyn, 12, and was awarded full custody of her after a months-long court battle. June is currently married to Justin Stroud, whom she met in rehab in 2021 after battling an addiction to crack cocaine. Chickadee left behind her husband Eldridge Toney and two daughters - Kylee, nine, by her ex-husband Michael Cardwell, and Kaitlyn by a previous relationship. Before she died, Chickadee agreed that her mother would take Kaitlyn in - but this year June had to wage a legal battle over the issue against Michael, who wanted custody of both Kaitlyn and his biological daughter Kylee. June was determined to retain guardianship of Kaitlyn, saying: 'Anna wanted Kaitlyn to stay with her biological family, and I'm going to fight to my last breath till I don't have any more fight in me to make sure that is how it works.'
