If there’s one thing I know that’s undeniably true, a truth that’s simply indisputable, it’s that the ‘brightest and best’ are not, under any circumstances, making more than £125,140 a year
The government said the most attractive terms under the new system would be available to people paying additional rate tax - now levied on incomes above £125,140 a year - and those on global talent and innovator founder visas. They will be able to settle after three years. However, the reforms will also slow the path towards permanent settlement for the roughly 2mn people who came to the UK via legal routes after 2021, a time of record net migration to Britain. She said in a statement: "Skilled workers, entrepreneurs and high earners will be fast-tracked to settlement. My message to the world's brightest and best is clear: you are welcome here.

2025 has not been great so far, but I did meet this cat today.
In the middle of the photograph a small black and white cat sits on a damp tree stump surrounded by orange toadstools looking determinedly at the viewer. Around then are fairly barren winter sticks with some green shoots, and a lot of rubbish including a beer can, a black rubber car tyre and an orange and white hazard cone.
