Well, Justice Souter, it turns out that the ignorant public you feared thought that no man is above the law—learned that in school and everything—and it took highly educated, well-read Supreme Court Justices to change the part of the Constitution that says insurrectionists can't run to say yes they can, and to make up a new part of the Constitution that gives presidents* immunity from criminal charges, thereby causing the death of democracy.
*only one, who six Justices find special for reasons
Essentially think public policy gets worse the more you try and do with a single lever, and in general think “can UK plc hire everyone it needs” + “are we stopping or discouraging exploitative practices” are about as many as government policy on immigration can really bear:

On Tuesday, the British government will be in the high court defending the indefensible: its continuing approval of arms exports to Israel.
As the government’s lawyers take the floor to deliver their opening remarks – in a case that was brought by the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq and is supported by Human Rights Watch – thousands of children in Gaza will be starving.

En la imagen, se observa un gato con un pelaje gris y blanco, sentado frente a un ordenador portátil. El gato lleva gafas de pasta negra, lo que le da un aspecto intelectual y divertido. Su expresión es de atención y curiosidad, mirando directamente hacia la cámara. El ordenador portátil está abierto y parece estar en uso, aunque no se ven imágenes o texto en la pantalla. El gato está sobre una superficie de madera, posiblemente una mesa, y detrás de él hay una ventana que permite la entrada de luz natural, creando un ambiente acogedor. La imagen transmite una sensación de tranquilidad y humor, con el gato en una postura que sugiere estar trabajando o estudiando.

L'immagine mostra un'immagine artistica di un evento astronomico noto come un eclipse di corpo celeste. Al centro dell'immagine, c'è un cerchio nero che rappresenta un corpo celeste, probabilmente un buco nero, che sta oscurando una stella. Intorno al cerchio nero, c'è un anello luminoso di luce, che è il risultato della luce della stella che si riflette sulla sua superficie. Questo anello luminoso è chiamato corona e rappresenta la luce della stella che è stata oscurata dal corpo celeste. La luce della stella si estende in una curva brillante che si estende verso il basso a destra dell'immagine, creando un effetto di scintillio. Lo sfondo è un cielo stellato, con innumerevoli stelle che brillano nel buio dello spazio. L'immagine è un'illustrazione artistica che rappresenta un fenomeno naturale, e non una fotografia reale.
