The Home Office will restrict work and study visas from nationalities who are most likely to overstay and claim asylum. Visas will be rejected for individuals who fit the profile of someone who will go on to claim asylum and are from countries with high rates of asylum.

Of course cutting support for disabled individuals won't "get more people into work" #r4today. PIP is not an out of work benefit, it helps many people access accommodations to be able to work. Cutting it stops them being able to. You cannot "grow the economy" by discarding disabled people.

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership.
It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead.
We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands.

It's clear the Scottish government does well to mitigate Westminster's policies.
Can you imagine how well Scotland could be running if we didn't have to subsist on a fixed budget that's magnitudes less than we raise in Scotland per annum?
