Powell was appointed by Trump in 2018.
It took detailed questioning at a dedicated lobby briefing at about 4pm yesterday to find out that the Β£7bn figure was never the estimated cost of the extra Afghan arrivals, but the estimate (over-estimate as it turned out) of *all* Afghan relocations. Not ideal.

14.07.2025 16:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 014 July 2025 Kent County Councilβs (KCC) Leader, Linden Kemkaran, and Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Diane Morton, have written to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Minister for Care Stephen Kinnock to raise βgrave concernsβ about 'unsustainable' proposals in the new Immigration Bill. Coupled with recent changes to employer National Insurance contributions, plans to reduce health and social care visas to the UK, and end the Social Care Worker Visa route to overseas recruitment for new applicants from 22 July 2025, risks many care workers going home - leaving providers 'on a cliff edge'.
This feels....notable. The leader of Reform-run Kent council and its cabinet member for social care have written to the government to complain that a crackdown on car workers visas intended to reduce net immigration could have a devastating impact on some care providers.

FWIW at the moment I think as long as it is relative no-marks like Berry, Jenkyns, Jones etc they can get away with it, as Farage casts a long shadow. Truss, on the other hand, would probably be an issue.
