True in Spain too. Every landlord in Madrid and Barcelona screens the renters now. This is an obvious consequence of rent control. The most vulnerable, ostensible protected by the legislation, are in fact excluded from the rental market: if you cannot be evicted for non payment, then you are too risky a renter.

I think @andyburnham wants to rejoin the EU. Not spin. It's incredibly bold to even raise free movement. Perhaps testing the water to see if public opinion on immigration has changed. The Europeans are paying attention

Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's. #StCrispinsDay

Barack Obama decided to hit Pete Hegseth with the elbow from the top rope. Absolutely brutal takedown.
