I feel like a madman pointing this out but the plausible, real world explanation for the marked uptick in work visas after 2019 is quite simply that in the previous year, the UK blew up its entire labour market by getting rid of FOM, on which it was intrinsically and inherently dependent.
Really tired of the fact that our politicians are acting like an immigration wave can be discussed in /absolute numbers/ rather than net!

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.
Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.
Don't fall for it.

Remember when a woman filed a lawsuit in 2016 against Trump alleging she was raped by him when she was 13 years old in 1994, at Jeffrey Epstein's home?!
This was years before Epstein was investigated and arrested again in 2019 and the M.O. lines right up.

Am starting to think widespread civil disobedience is the most effective way to tackle Labour's policy of punishment beatings for trans people to please right wing bigots.
And this can't fall on the trans community - cis allies too are going to have to start using the 'wrong' toilets.

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.

If I were hoping to create a plan for a workable pan-European high speed rail network, the experts I most want to hear from are definitely a design agency, a branding studio, and a design studio.

Das ist keine "umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion", das ist Einschüchterung und Terror. Mag sich jemand in der Redaktion beim SWR mal vorstellen, was das mit den Menschen macht, die Ziel dieses völkischen Furors sind?
Und was muss noch passieren, ehe man diese Rassisten stoppt?

I’m not crazy about the building’s design, but this would be a massive waste of embodied carbon. It was the tallest reinforced concrete building on the planet when completed.
The gloriously postmodern 311 South Wacker as the "world's tallest teardown" is a very concerning prospect... According to veteran commercial real estate reporter Ryan Ori, Hines is considering various redevelopment scenarios, including demolishing the 65-story tower.

Researchers at @sheffielduni looked at nearly 6,000 houses across 42 developments.
When they compared promises for wildlife-friendly features found in planning conditions with what was on the ground, they found that nearly half were missing.

Ed Miliband better hope he didn't forget to pay any library fines 15 years ago
As transport sec Louise Haigh
-resolved the industrial dispute on the railways
-was proceeding with rail public ownership
-spoke clearly on P&O
-gave priority to buses & opposed removal of the £2 cap
For her approach she attracted hostility from the right. It’s a backward development to lose her
