Deportation is for criminals. This is removal. The article mentions that the affected group is those who started while on graduate visas. The threshold change does not affect those already here on a skilled worker visa who are renewing. It isnt retroactive. Doesn't excuse the current govt though.

I do admire the drivers. Though stuck on a track, they are having to make it up as they go. Stop here, or not, let everyone out, or not, call the trip off, or carry on.

Liz line caused me to be one hour late, and am now delayed by a blockage, but service is apparently good! #Lizline @tflbot.bsky.social #tfl

Last week, Reform UK launched a campaign against so-called energy β€œeyesores”. Yet their Mayor wants to cover Lincolnshire with fracking rigs.

This isn’t about land or eyesores. It’s about repeating the line that their millionaire donors tell them to say.

It needs calling out.

The Guardian opinion headline reads: β€œBrexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course” by Ed Davey.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.

Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

Hear hear. Women's biggest threat lives in their homes or is related in some way. NOT a stranger!

Our Village is having a similar meltdown re overfull street bins, with someone suggesting their removal as the answer.

Was it all filmed at 6am so that the streets are empty and there are no tourists?

Where I lived in London you had to install permeable drives but no one ever enforces it.

No idea. Tarmac is cheaper and quicker to install? Sadly.

Thr last thing I need is more fibre. Fruit is evil. Hotel breakfasts encourage me and I've learnt my lesson the soft way.

It's usually crap, like train wifi, so yes, don't waste your money and savour the peace.

My dad was a teacher and lives in the same town he was born in and worked. Can't walk down the street without recognition. Plus we have a rare name. So embarrassing. Everyone knows you. And it's a sizeable town. I'd hate to live there.

Psychopaths who are council staff do not have meetings. They sit alone at home, making bad, unsupervised, wrong decisions, that you then spend months challenging, into the ether, while they defer responses week after month.

My toxic feminist trait is the conviction I can still outrun all blokes. Like when I was 15.

Our office currently has a glut of men (yes, sorry, not sorry) pursuing lost causes that we advised them of, largely situations of their own making, and everyone but them are at fault.

Doesn't everyone use a nappy bag for baby wipes? It has never crossed my mind to put wipes in the toilet. Maybe too many blocked toilets in my teenhood. #tampons

High fructose corn syrup has had its day, hopefully. Unexpected bonus of mango mussolini.

Painful. Like the US president who acts like a 5 year old and is oblivious to that.
