on 16 November 1989, Salvadoran Army soldiers killed six Jesuits and two women, on the campus of Central American University. They were assassinated because they were leaders against the right-wing forces in the Salvadoran civil war.

Two vessels broke loose and were swept out to sea amid stormy weather on the coast of Murmansk Oblast. This footage captures one of the vessels capsized on the coast of Teriberka, a coastal village around 90 km west of Murmansk.

The Tories made the same mistake with the Red Wall fixation on Lee Anderson types rather than "estate agent in Workington" or "Woman who shops at the new(ish) M&S Food in Leigh". But at least they had an excuse for not understanding those voters.

The irony of the Blue Labour rhetoric is actually how prejudicial it is about the white working class.
why do I emphasize the Manchester-ness of this? because Blue Labour 'thinkers' try to portray themselves as authentic representatives of a neglected Northern working class. But while there's plenty of racism in the North, as anywhere else, there's also a long history of integration and anti-racism.

The best way to understand what is actually “driving the small boats” is “if something carried a one in a 100 risk of death, would you do it it it gave you ten more years of healthy life?”
Shabana Mahmood tells Sunday Times it should take 20 years for somebody granted refugee status in UK to secure permanent status (ie, reapply 6 times) if came without permission.

<p data-end="663" data-start="474">“Our teams evacuated several displaced families after their tents were also flooded,” the Civil Defence said, describing scenes of people wading through mud with what little they still own.</p>
<p data-end="894" data-start="665">The agency said its responders “provided assistance to a number of displaced families whose tents were flooded in the vicinity of Bir 22 and helped them resecure the damaged tent pegs”, after severe weather tore through the area.</p>
