Italian general Roberto Vannacci is making headlines on two fronts. He faces accusations of homophobia after commenting on deputy Alessandro Cerno that he has 'inverted tastes'; Cerno says the insult shows Vannacci cannot sustain a substantive debate. Meanwhile Vannacci declared himself 'indispensable', telling the centre-right that without his Futuro Nazionale list they cannot win, even as SWG polling shows his support stalling at 8% while Giorgia Meloni's rises.
