Wie hier is, is van hier, en dus niet daar. UU (NL), but also UA (Bel) and UCL (UK). Displaced by Brexit. Still on X as @chrisdec71 (dormant) and @belgianrefugees (increasingly sleepy).

On asylum moves in the spending review today: Steve Smith, CEO of Care4Calais - โ€œMoving from former commercial hotels to accommodation situated within communities would be welcome, but what the Government really needs to end is the for-profit asylum accommodation model that has created billionaires"

I never had to look for this in libraries or archives as several copies have been available all along. But now that I managed to get a copy myself I was surprised to see the size of the Report. Sassoon paperback just for comparison.

โœ… It's good to hear Chancellor Rachel Reeves say a better trading relationship will be a key part of the UK-EU relations reset.

Our research shows closer alignment on goods and services could help boost the UK economy by 2.2%.

Now let's see these words put into action.

The Country Estates of Maelor Saesneg Maelor Saesneg, or โ€œFlintshire Detachedโ€ was an exclave of Flintshire County that was completely separate from the main body of the county, and surrounded by Denbighshire, Cheshire and Shropshireโ€ฆ

Two new chapters published today! Both concern the area once known as Maelor Saesneg in north-east Wales. The country estates took in some noble families from Belgium - tinyurl.com/saesneg and one family of #BelgianRefugees who came to Penley stayed and made a life here: tinyurl.com/famdoex

Keir Starmer, you claim huge and damaging cuts are vital so we can buy arms and defend ourselves. Prove it | Owen Jones Splurging the cash is not the answer to Europeโ€™s security jitters. Letโ€™s ignore the hyperbole and decide whatโ€™s actually needed, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

A hard-headed case for careful, accountable decisions on defense spending.

Security includes digital & energy security.

& most of all this entire project will fail & boost the far right if Labour tries to pay for it from cuts to public services & welfare.
