I was looking at Reform's policy again the other day. They're proposing a £60k salary for people on ILR keeping their visa. Which means pretty much every nurse on ILR would be a risk. It's insane.
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

That's a great way to grab the attention of car enthusiasts in their 40s - the new Ferrari will resurrect the "Testarossa" name.
If they could resurrect the original pricing (£62k) as well, that'd be nice.
Oh, and yeah - the original was a much better design, wasn't it?

🧀Some (very Friday in August) polling. Does your favourite cheese affect how you vote? Reform have huge leads with fans of Stilton & Cheddar, but also people who don't eat cheese at all. Labour dominates among Feta fans. Tories best result is Brie & Greens with Camembert.

Tory strategy meeting, working out how they can get the electorate's attention and deciding the answer is "racism"
This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

It's completely insane. If introduced you'd have large numbers of families rendered destitute and local authorities would have to support them with no money available to do so.

Best thing I've seen today 😍
Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.
The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.
