The beautiful thing is the photo, which takes up half the front page, is a shining example of how great immigration has been for this country, and utterly undermines the message below it. It could’ve been worse, they could have chosen other pictures, so I’m glad they chose that one.
The Daily Mail lead with a photo of triumphant Irish and Ghanaian heritage Lioness players + another anti-immigration story. What hypocritical graceless fuckwits.

Reform accused of seeking ban on flying Ukrainian flags over council buildings
Hard-right party says only St George’s and Union Jack flags to be permitted on or in its English council properties

Farage comes straight out saying his new councillors need to do a ‘DOGE’ - Musk’s ruinous approach to culling govt offices and public services. ‘Efficiency savings’ that are costing America dearly. This isn’t change. This is more of the vicious uselessness that broke our country in the first place.

Despite strong misgivings about the ‘transfer’ bought this today, first issue from Tortoise media, as I passionately want to see quality newspapers continue in print. Verdict: pretty good. In further support of exemplary journalism, also subscribed to Carol Cadwalladr’s Substack today.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

A masterclass in gaslighting from Europe’s last dictator, Lukashenko. Steve Rosenberg is formidable in his effort to hold him accountable. Even after that chilling ‘Don’t overdo it Steve’ he just keeps going.
“What wretched question have you prepared for me?” My surreal Q&A with Alexander Lukashenko. He claimed his opponents had “chosen” prison or exile (in reality the authorities had chosen to target them.) Plus, "Prison is for people who opened their mouths too wide" Thanks @lizashuvalova.bsky.social
