Meanwhile in Italy, Salvini is absolutely losing his shit.

Nationalist League leader Matteo Salvini on Wednesday said the League would tell President Mattarella to end the “disgrace” of a government-formation bid by his former ally the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) and the centre-left Democratic Party (PD).
“This afternoon we’ll go to the Quirinal Palace and we’ll tell Mattarella to out an end to this indecent, disgraceful spectacle, without dignity or honour,” Salvini told reporters.
Salvini pulled the plug on the 14-month M5S-League government on August 8 citing inaction by the M5S, especially over a new high-speed train link to France.
The outgoing interior minister had hoped for a snap election to capitalise on booming poll numbers because of his anti-migrant policies.

This was a massive political miscalculation on Salvini’s part. Serves him right.
