The impact of Brexit on immigration to the UK - UK in a changing Europe Jonathan Portes and John Springford share their new analysis that estimates how the number of foreign-born workers would have evolved had the UK remained in the EU.

Ending free movement "led to a modest rise in the number of foreign born workers in the UK, but a dramatic shift in their countries of origin."

Mark Carney to urge Starmer to join ‘world bank for defence’ Canada’s prime minister is believed to be planning a trip to persuade the UK to join a multilateral lender that would aid arms procurement

Exc: Mark Carney to visit Keir Starmer as he looks to lobby the PM about a 'World Bank for defence'

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

He’ll come home. Like Erling 😉

Poor Archie Gray. Backed the wrong horse….

Dunno. I want one to finish below us and I still can’t quite believe it will be Spurs. Then again, they’re crumbling.

To help Leeds by losing

Please show your workings.

Spurs or Palace? 🤔

Just to pre-empt the discussion. NZ always beat us.

Can't believe how well they caught after a couple of dodgy fielding performances.

Need to shut the Overton window quickly.

I do hope England manage to get to 150.....

Actually, we're nowhere near as negative as we might be given our plight. But we don't have depth of sheer attacking excellence the top clubs have

Fair

Fascinating conference coming up on assimilated law, hosted and organised by the Institute of European and Comparative Law @oxfordlawfac.bsky.social www.law.ox.ac.uk/content/even...

Germany’s Merz sits powerless as Trump attacks European allies in Oval Office The chancellor’s strategy of never contradicting the U.S. president is front of the cameras looks humiliating, but he believes he can talk him around on Ukraine and trade.

'Perhaps the biggest question for Merz, however, is whether the appeasement is working'. Quite the choice of words . Not sure it's fair - we don't know what was said in private. The optics of the public meeting were, as so often, a cringe. www.politico.eu/article/frie...

Yeah, and that ended well for us 🤦🏾🤦🏾

Actually, we were open and aggressive against you, as I recall. Ok, it didn't work but..... And yes, that's a view on the uncommitted. I was simply saying making a point about the 'product'.

😂

Well yes. Arsenal have such a wealth of talent they could play more attractive football. I also think it might be more effective than the 'keep it tight and score from a corner' approach. My point is that the product is less attractive to the uncommitted now.

It's a crap game

Oh sod off
