Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Jenrick the latest conservative voice to use Poland & Bulgaria as rhetoric vehicles to advance the 'broken Britain' narrative, it's SO BAD that EVEN EASTERN EUROPEANS are (close to) doing better than us.
But Poland's success isn't UK's failure. Two different stories, mixed up.

Few thoughts on the "Polish exodus" from the UK.
1. It's not an 'exodus', it's a slow drip. We're fine, thanks.
2. Migration is really complicated.
3. The absolute cheek of the very same media attacking Poles for years lamenting their departure.
4. What you can do?

Listening to a radio story about a Belgian trade mission to the US which is buying US defence materiel and securing a big investment by Amazon in Belgium “which will support Belgian small business” - genuinely not sure which is the more strategically short-sighted.

"No, Nigel Farage: Eastern Europeans like me aren’t eating swans," writes Poland's ambassador to the UK after Farage claimed East European migrants are eating swans in London's Royal Parks.

Federico Viticci’s in-depth iOS 26 review: ‘A new era for Apple’s software’
It’s been a busy week in the Apple world, between reviews of new iPhones and the release of iOS 26.
One of the highlights of new iOS season every year is Federico Viticci’s in-depth review at MacStories. Given the vast nature of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 this year, I was even more excited than usual to read his review.

Then it will be £100, soon it is £1000 a month.
