If ever there was a video or image to sum up the UK in 2026, it's this.
It is of a Prime Minister, dressed like a bum, stood in front of illegally dumped garbage as far as the eye can see, defending having to tell the 200,000 people they have allowed in not to rape women.

A profound change in Britain’s labour market is very rarely discussed.
Over the last decade 3.7m people were added to payrolls. But only one in five were British.
🇬🇧 UK nationals: +734k
🇪🇺 EU nationals: +408k
🌍 Non-EU nationals: +2.5m
Meanwhile the number of out of work benefit claimants rose by *2.6 million*.
Spending on unemployment and incapacity benefits alone rose by £21 billion a year in real terms.
Migration, tax and welfare reform must come together to fix a model that is completely broken.
If Britain was more racist then Jason Arday would be alive right now and happily telling fed up Tesco colleagues how he once beat Usain Bolt in a foot race. Much to think about.
@lopac_bs@purelyscottish7 No Brits voted for Brexit because Turkey & Albania were joining the EU (although neither has completed yet).
Never had problems with Polish, but was against the rules allowing them to take low paid jobs, and then the government sending benefit payments to their spouses in Poland
@sixucls The number of hours they need to do should be based on how much they get in benefits. Set at the current minimum wage levels. So most will only have to do 9 hours a week. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Based on age (thirtysomething in ~2007-09), British singer-songwriter profile, and documented Cannes/St Tropez yacht presence in those social circles, public speculation most often points to James Blunt. Photos link him to Panettiere there around 2009. She left the man unnamed, so it stays unconfirmed.
