Mahmood’s move to make asylum temporary ‘may undermine refugee convention’ Law Society says home secretary’s review of refugee status after 30 months is in tension with UK’s legal obligations

Shabana Mahmood’s decision to tell every person applying for asylum from Monday that their status is temporary could undermine the refugee convention, the Law Society has said

I've got a me in Denmark (she goes on amazing theatre trips and dinners with her gal pals) and a me in South Africa (much more boring, she just gets car finance updates).

We used the Park and Go at Luton and it was cost-effective and convenient compared to either the train or the self-park long stay; but you can bet we emptied out the car before drop-off.

"Sadly that's the way it is" he mumbles, as if he understood the first thing about anything. Fucking idiot.

I usually try not to expend any energy in the direction of that moron, but why can't Trump ever, ever, ever simply stick to the script? Why can he never resist ad-libbing facile nonsense over the top of every diplomatic communication? Because he is a narcissistic freak.

Opinion | The Billionaires Have Gone Full Louis XV

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

The earliest St Totteringham’s Day the Premier League has ever seen.

With nine games to go, Tottenham can officially not finish above Arsenal.

We own North London.

Happy St Totteringham’s Day Arsenal fans. ❤️

every time one of these markets dissembles and parses and weasels their way out of paying people on a technicality my heart grows three sizes like the grinch. i love to watch these people get scammed on crypto and nfts and gambling. they deserve it and it's funny and it's not my problem at all

I used to travel regularly to India and there was a Rs300 departure tax, payable in cash only, usually at a separate desk before check-in. The tax desk would stamp your ticket to show you’d paid before you could check in. They only rolled it into the ticket price after around 1999 from memory.

Excellent soundtrack throughout, no notes. Is it a perfect film? It....might be.

JD sees school as a microcosm of society and therefore wants to blow up the school; Tyler Durden wants to go large and blow up society. But they come from the same place of untamed id (and very pretty faces).

Fight Club is an interesting one - there are moments when it feels very much like a black-comic version of American Beauty, and a couple of places where it's like a bigger, badder, nominally more adult version of Heathers which I mean entirely as a compliment.

I know some will say Brad Pitt's breakout performance as an actor rather than just a pretty face was in Se7en, or even Twelve Monkeys, but this is the role that convinced me. (The face is still very pretty however).

So we watched both American Beauty (1999) and Fight Club (1999) as a pre-millennial double-bill of sorts. Both films stand up very well; interestingly, AB feels more like a period piece, FC captures something that I still very much recognise (although some key plot points are longer possible).

They will lose because they can’t formulate a sensible policy on drugs, they will lose because they can’t say no to Trump, and they will lose because they have no idea how to talk positively about migrants.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Just doing some fag-packet maths.
Labour lost 25% of their vote trying to chase Reform.
Say the 6% of Tories went to Reform, putting them on 20. That means 8% came from Labour. So in trying to keep that 8%, they lost another 17% to the Greens.
If this was a business, the CEO would have resigned.
