⁂ is a typographical character, not an icon that needs to be inserted as an image. Unique-looking, but standardised. This means it’s very easy to copy-paste around! Its design style also automatically adapts to the font used where you insert it. Information from https://symbol.fediverse.info

Sir Keir Starmer won the 2024 general election, while Rishi Sunak lost, but the results reveal significant shifts in UK politics. Former PM Liz Truss was unseated, Penny Mordaunt's leadership hopes were dashed, and high-profile Tory ministers like Grant Shapps and Jacob Rees-Mogg lost their seats. The Green Party made historic gains with co-leader Carla Denyer winning in Bristol Central, and Nigel Farage finally entered Parliament, boosting Reform UK. Jeremy Corbyn won as an independent, defying Labour, and Sinn Féin dominated in Northern Ireland. Despite the Tories' worst result in modern history, figures like Suella Braverman survived, and the Liberal Democrats, led by Sir Ed Davey, became the third largest party. In Scotland, Labour's Douglas Alexander led a significant challenge against the SNP. The election was marked by colourful moments and novelty candidates, adding a lighter note to a night of dramatic political change.

France held an early legislative election on 30th June 2024, with a second round on 7th July. This election will decide all 577 members of the 17th National Assembly. President Emmanuel Macron called for this snap election following the 2024 European Parliament election, where the opposition National Rally gained significantly against his L'Europe Ensemble list, which saw a notable loss of seats compared to 2019.
