Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

🚨BREAKING🚨New figures reveal the true cost of Brexit.
It's time for Labour to stop being so timid and fix the damage done by the Conservatives' botched Brexit deal.
That is the best way to boost growth, put money in people's pockets and properly fund our public services.

LibDem @maxwilkinson.bsky.social proposes a more recent reason. EU states monitor secondary applications through the Eurodac system (with fingerprinting) which will pick up if there is a failed application in another member state. UK is not part of this. Is that a new incentive to apply in the UK?
