DOMINANT ANGLE
Germany: Labour's drubbing makes headlines — Berlin sees in Farage a mirror of its own populisms
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Germany: Tagesschau headlined 'Labour-Wahlschlappe: Starmer beruft Ex-Premier Brown in Regierung' — Labour's electoral defeat, Starmer appoints former PM Brown to the government. Berlin pays particular attention because Germany faces an analogous situation with the AfD: a radical right party capturing the frustrations of working-class communities left behind by globalisation. DW had published before the results an analysis of Reform UK's rise in Labour's traditional industrial heartlands. For Germany, which saw Brexit as a democratic warning, the confirmation that the forces that produced Brexit continue to flourish is a source of deep concern for European democratic stability.
