An agreement like the one we have already for the French to try and stop the boats? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64916446 That doesn't sound like a government unwilling to have adult discussions.

There was the Dublin agreement whilst we were in the EU. In the last few years before we left, the UK was a net recipient of refugees under it. That is more were returned to the UK than we returned to the EU.

Perhaps @Magdalia is thinking of GDP per capita? https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/timeseries/ihxw/qna shows it going from £31,493 to £33,257, an increase of 5.6% over that time period. Which implies most of that 17.5% increase has been due to population growth and in...

Do you have a source for those migration stats? https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/long-term-international-migration-flows-to-and-from-the-uk/ has a graph of net migration since the 90s when it was sub-100k. The year before Covid was over 300k. Rebalancing the...

That's picking 1 of the 200-odd countries in the world an EU citizen could live in, versus 27 for the UK one. I don't think it's a particularly meaningful metric.

I'm not recognising it either. Can't quite make out what she's singing which would normally be my goto for identifying a song, stick lyrics into a search engine and see what comes back.

In the words of Ellen Ripley, nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure. :-)

Some of the commentary around the Villa keeper said the rule change was 4 years ago. Apparently the idea is that the referee can penalise the keeper for repeated infringements during the shootout where sending them off after a single one would be excessive.

Though the game was only at 3-3 thanks to a very soft penalty. https://a1.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0422%2Fr1322494_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&w=1140&cquality=40&format=jpg was given, but...

As Gary Lineker sort of admitted, it will be down to TV. Yesterday’s game was BBC whereas today’s is ITV. I think the channels take it in turns to pick the matches, so the BBC choosing that match meant it was on Saturday. (BBC are showing the marathon and the snooker today) Some of the...

It was noticeable that Pep’s first response to being interviewed after the game was to moan about having to play today after playing in Europe on Wednesday when none of the other semi finalists did.

My understanding was that the Government are looking for private investment for HS2 Euston. The suspicion is that the land that has been cleared for the full station but not required for the 6-platform version would be turned over to some other kind of development to produce the return on...

Thankfully I believe that’s still the case in French too.

Almost certainly. There’s already a bit of bumping thanks to Russia’s exclusion from sport. 1713622517 Chelsea Women have won the first leg of their Champions League semifinal away to Barcelona 1-0. Erin Cuthbert scored the only goal on 40 minutes in a performance that would be best summed up as...

If the Conference League winners have qualified for the Champions League, then the team with the best coefficient who would have to go through qualifying gets straight into the league section and there's one fewer team in qualifying.

The lift won't be a solid object, it will be assembled inside the shaft from components.

Wasn't it Long-Bailey rather than Cooper on the final ballot?

Some would say, all of them: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/10-broken-pledges

It’s not Corbyn’s policies that Starmer is accused of reneging on, it’s the pledges he made during the leadership election. https://www.clpd.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Keir-Starmers-10-Pledges.pdf True, circumstances have changed since 2020, but these were presented as deeply held...

I think that clause is the one that leads to all the arguments over the meaning of coming directly.
