I got no help whatsoever, because it happened 2 weeks *before* my 24 months of continuous residence in the UK was completed.

A helpful parliamentary written answer from the Home Office summarising one of the key drivers of small boat crossings

There is no visa or other form of permission for people wanting to travel legally to the UK for the purpose of claiming asylum, and it can't be done from abroad

Look what is written by @SuellaBraverman on the face of the Illegal Migration bill - that this legislation may not be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights

Here's why more than 90% of @neunion teachers voted to strike, and why there are such desperate shortages of teachers in important subjects. At the end of the Labour government in 2008/9, teachers were paid 1.67 times the national average salary. Today they are paid 1.41 times...

Terrific to see the fantastic work done by Nick and Ruth Dawson, and all the volunteers at @BriteBoxProject. BRITE Boxes contain ingredients to cook a meal for 5, aiming to bring families together with food. They are distributed across Esher and Walton at local primary schools.

There was a rather revealing moment at PMQs today, when Rishi Sunak, the richest MP in Parliament, rose to answer a question about child poverty which is due to hit a record 5 million next year in one of the richest countries in the world. It revealed much about 🧵

The Chancellor is expected to announce a large package of permanent tax cuts on Friday without a new set of forecasts from the OBR. This is disappointing.

So, in the absence of official scrutiny from the OBR, we @TheIFS have stepped into the breach. 🧵

‘Prince Harry served in the Army for ten years, rising to the rank of Captain and undertaking two tours of Afghanistan’. (Royal website)

I've never watched this before, and frankly found it hard not to be genuinely impressed and moved by Prince Harry here.

Kate Bush is No 1. There are rail strikes in 4 days. Inflation is soaring. There’s a heat wave. Great week for big fans of 1976.
