Property portal Hemnet is cutting over a third of its workforce, affecting around 50 employees, to save up to 85 million kronor a year. In Brussels, the government is reportedly threatening to veto the EU budget.
Following a successful election, the Norrland Party is demanding a regional parliament and Scottish-style self-rule. Meanwhile, Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist accused the Left Party of breaking a promise, adding another complication to stalled government formation talks.
A mental health investigation into Liam Nebel, the suspect in the Fagersta school shooting, was halted before the attack despite extensive warnings. Separately, an egg-donation recruiter told reporters that affluent clients specifically ask for donors who are 'light-skinned and tall'.
