A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

There are really good reasons *not* to do it, but both this Labour government and the last are hamstrung by the inability to just clearly state 'Donald Trump is bad and has bad consequences'.

I think Andor really is one of the most important TV shows of our time. Technically brilliant, so galvanising, each time I find something new in it (just watched it a fourth (!) time). Absolute masterpiece.

michael deacon continues his valiant quest to be britain's unfunniest man
After Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of Manchester United, controversially suggested that mass immigration may have had one or two drawbacks, and that an annual welfare bill of £353bn may be a touch on the high side, the Man Utd Muslim Supporters’ Club demanded he resign. A dramatic development. I’ve got just one question.

Why do Man Utd have a Muslim supporters’ club?

Obviously there’s nothing wrong with Muslims supporting Man Utd. Unlike pork, alcohol and being married to more than four women at once, the 13-time FA Cup winners are not considered haram.

What I don’t understand is the purpose of a Muslim supporters’ club – and I would say exactly the same about, say, a Man Utd Buddhist Supporters’ Club, or a Man Utd Zoroastrian Supporters’ Club. Because I simply can’t see a link between football and any given religion.

So what is such a club for? Do its members meet up to discuss their team’s tactics from a theological standpoint?

“The Koran leaves no room for doubt. It is Allah’s will that we switch to a back three with attacking wing-backs.”

“Sacrilege! The divine formation is 4-2-3-1, and eternal damnation awaits the infidel who dares propose the use of a false nine instead of a traditional centre-forward!”

The resilience of immigration in these figures is really troubling. We need the reporting of the fall in small boat and general immigration to ramp up. Reform can come back as long as that issue reigns.

Trump seems to have very few genuine beliefs, so it's particular weird that one of them is the seemingly deeply-held view that international trade is a zero sum game that you win if you sell more than you buy, regardless of what goods and services are actually exchanged as part of that.

I’m on Opinion newsletter duty this morning and I wanted to start with a few words on The Telegraph’s toxic “How having a disability became cool” article.
Back in 2024, I wrote about “sickfluencers” – a rightwing moniker for disabled people who use social media to help others apply for benefits. Recently, I’ve noticed the term has expanded to include women who commit the crime of … using a mobility aid in public. This week, the Telegraph ran a piece claiming young women are “turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend”, including by not working. The headline? “How having a disability became cool.”

It’s hard to think of a nastier narrative. You can say that the writers and editors publishing this stuff are just ignorant of disability, but I struggle to believe it. It feels like wilful ignorance: repeating tropes that fuel an agenda casting doubt on disabled people and the state’s duty to support us if we need it.Readers who use mobility aids often tell me about the impact of seeing these stories spread online; a growing sense of shame that eats at the stomach until one day, they put their cane back in the cupboard and walk to Tesco in pain. Or they don’t go out at all. Someone should be ashamed in all of this, sure, but it’s not disabled readers.

I understand the concerns people have had about this bill specifically, and about assisted dying more broadly. But I think it's a sad day if this means that discussion of assisted dying is yet again delayed. What some people go through in this country as they die we wouldn't put an animal through.
