Fascinating long-read on our Prime Minister.

"On 25 October, Britain got a “two-fer”, as they say in America: both its first Silicon Valley prime minister and its first hedge fund prime minister."https://t.co/duYu41Ar7Z

This poor ‘Hindu’ Prime Minister has to answer questions from journalists! pic.twitter.com/ObCSNIjGO8

Just so you know we aren't the only country experiencing the 'pick and chose your victimhood' syndrome.

Unusually I completely agree with the Labour Mayor of London. Can he convince his party leadership to speak out to also criticise Brexit @Keir_Starmer ? https://t.co/EjgOiYyGD3

I smelled demagoguing using "Albanians". However, after a small dive into various tweets, it might actually be the case that all sides are doing it, including some Albanians

The UK government has at last started rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants starting with the Albanians. Only the beginning! pic.twitter.com/mqTUlOotMV

“Find the Albanians”. Can you imagine that being said of any other nationality or group? “Find the Nigerians” or “find the Pakistanis”? The demonisation of Albanians is absolutely appalling. https://t.co/05J6aACe9v pic.twitter.com/V87IrgpKIn

They’re at it again, but this time for Albanians. Highly reminiscent of “Operation Mayapple” from 2012 when Home Office social media feeds were full of this stuff. They’ll be rolling out the Go Home vans next. pic.twitter.com/2bsk940jpv

^ that one was actually quite convincing, sound on

Our research shows that Albanians have been gaming our laws and piling pressure on an already overwhelmed and abused asylum system https://t.co/Rpr15h5RQK

A government source said “it’s not clear exactly why” the number of Albanians arriving in small boats has plummeted, “but nobody’s counting their chickens that they won’t try again” https://t.co/RhYdMiGjh4

A very strongly-worded thread from the Albanian foreign minister, who accuses Robert Jenrick of a "verbal lynching" of Albanians in Britain https://t.co/OueS34gIiJ

Also have to admit that we are not always so special with the stereotyping culture via nationality; i.e. if you asked many New Yorkers what they honestly thought about being able to trust Albanian immigrants, they'd say no because too many are connected to an Albanian mob organization.
