The scale of the backlog arises because the Sunak government, while clearing the 2022 backlog, stops processing asylum claims of those who arrive in 2023-24, despite having no real world prospect of removing 99% of those it is accommodating, in limbo. No plan except to leave it to after the election

Classic Vienna. -- After all these years, I still find new features at the Stephansdom: like this statue of St. Lawrence (with the gridiron used to torture him), atop one of the romanesque towers above the main entrance.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The next More Jam Tomorrow is out ... tomorrow! And it's timely, given what the Strategic Defence Review said this week: "The UK is deliberately ambiguous about precisely when, how and at what scale it would contemplate the use of nuclear weapons."
