"Selection is confusing. The message is: we will not select on runs and wickets. We will pick you on attitude. So go out there and play in a style that keeps you in the team. Haseeb Hameed, for example, has clearly been making the wrong kind of runs."

Tidying up the team holidays and one of my team has taken holiday that they haven't put on the Excel planner and thinks they have 3 days left and er, well this is going to be awkward (-2).

Somehow, this will be my fault.

Should go without saying, but if protections against torture are preventing your policies being implemented then it isn't the protections which are the issue.

There's no difference, for those affected, here from leaving the ECHR if rights are removed anyway.

This.
Policy change is needed to deal with the 'cliff edge' when refugees are granted status.

Too many people become street homeless after asylum accommodation.

The law needs to recognise that, like care leavers, refugees need support to start their new lives.

Naccom members accommodated record 4,434 refugees and migrants in 2024-25 but could not house another 3,450

It's also emblematic of Starmer's government having the worst comms instincts imaginable.

A policy of fast tracking settlement as an incentive is, at least by the standards of modern immigration debate, relatively inoffensive...

... but then they couch it in Reform talking points about "takers".
This is so disgusting.

The amount of male managers fucking their female players is *wild* but you won't read about any of that.

You will, however, read a lot about Sutton United's women's team because there is a trans woman in charge and that's apparently a danger to women.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

This whole line of argument is fantastically stupid. Even if they had a radio, what kind of "backup" are they calling against a US Navy fleet?

This was taken at a pub in quite a posh town. They don't allow robins any more. The general feeling at the time was "Good. Now hopefully the tone of the place will be raised, along with the value of our houses." But now people complain the pub has been gentrified and miss its rough'n'ready charm.
Right now, all over Britain, drunk robins are dismantling the system and making up their own rules.
