He holds that empathy is the biggest value in politics – ‘why does someone go to a politician for help? It’s not because they’re lazy or because they don’t want to improve their life. It’s probably because they truly need the help.’
Elsewhere during the interview, Luke reflected on whether he would enter politics, saying that he would leave it until he is around 50 years old and after having worked so as not to rely on politics to make money.
He also acknowledged that politicians need to be paid more so that they aren’t forced to think of how to make money through illicit means.

A rare common angelshark (Squatina squatina) was found dead on the shore of Marsaxlokk, Malta, as reported by the NGO Sharklab Malta.
The 101cm female shark, a critically endangered species, was likely discarded from a fishing boat due to its lack of commercial value.
Angelsharks are highly protected and adapted to blend into the seafloor, resembling rays in appearance.
The discovery was made following a report in a Facebook group, prompting a Sharklab volunteer to collect the specimen for further research.
The NGO noted the significance of the sighting, as the last known encounter with an angelshark in Malta occurred in 2009. The species faces critical threats due to bycatch in trawl and net fisheries and is nearly extinct in the North Sea and much of the northern Mediterranean.
Sharklab Malta emphasised the importance of this sighting, highlighting the ongoing presence of the species in Maltese waters and the value of citizen science in tracking such rare species.
The find adds vital information to the limited data on the critically endangered angelshark population in Malta.
