Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

It's been a vintage week for 'you are an immigrant, I am an expat' fans

I mean, technically not. But felt like it.

Wrexham robbed!

Great to have VAR back for these FA Cup games, said no fucker.

Photos of all the school children killed by a US strike in Minab, Ireland

The United States killed all these children last Saturday.

170 of them.

Every. Single. One.

What in the backwater fuckin kind of hillbilly name is Markwayne

An all-white dog laying miserably on the floor with a cone on. Half of her face is shaved because she had to get stitches to close a gash.

Dogs are great if you have money and want that to no longer be the case.

Even for Trump, this is madman levels of moronic. WTAF????

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world.

But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this.

And it must eat him up.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

Snickers, get off the cat!

Cat? What cat?

Watching a #BHAFC side with back-to-back wins pushing the champions-elect all the way in front of an Amex united behind the team, it did not seem possible *that* game against *that* lot was one month ago

Excuse my unspiritual language but fuck this shit.

“I thought I was spending £60 to watch a Premier League game of football. But I must have mistakenly bought a ticket to a tour of the Islington Amateur Dramatics Society instead”

Here are the best fan photos from Brighton 0-1 Arsenal #BHAFC

Brighton 0-1 Arsenal: Money well spent for 32 minutes of football Brighton 0-1 Arsenal saw the Gunners display the tedious time wasting tactics which will sadly see them crowned Premier League champions

What was your favourite bit of Brighton 0-1 Arsenal? I liked it when David Raya made a save landing on his right shoulder, rolled around on the ground holding his left shoulder and needed 5 minutes treatment. The Premier League is truly the best and most entertaining in the world #BHAFC 👇

Nationalise the water industry. No essential service should be in private sector control.

Can we play this well for two halves? Please...? #bhafc

I take it all back. On top apart from The Inexplicable Fumble... #bhafc

Eek. That team selection 😬 #bhafc

As revealed by my colleague @adambienkov.bsky.social last year, the BBC drew up a strategy to appeal more to Reform voters.

Might be waiting a while for them to do the same for Green voters...

If it's just a fine then that's no punishment at all. They'll just add it to everyone's bill while still paying the executives grotesque salaries.

No, it is the children who are wrong This week: Keir Starmer has decided that he blames the voters. Also: some golden age anti-car propaganda; and some new maps of British living standards.

"Where’s the soul searching about why voters might have defected to a challenger from the left? Why, in God’s name, did anyone think it was a good idea to imply a large chunk of Labour’s coalition is, in fact, stupid?"

Newsletter out. Bit angry.

Comparatively small thing, but this will also more-or-less exile every expat with a non-British partner/family, as it massively complicates the process of ever coming home.
