Nearly three-quarters of those who responded to the consultation on visa reform were visa holders.
The Government is consulting migrants on immigration policy and PIP recipients on welfare spending. And those responses are then used to justify maintaining the status quo.
The £11.99 box of Stella is an offer, but they can't give customers this discount in Wales as it would be below the minimum unit price. Thanks @Plaid_Cymru

Britain is £130bn in the red. Ahead of the Budget, I've vibe-coded an app so you can explore what the state is spending on, and see if you can balance the books:

Young people actively hate AI.
My two younger daughters are 19 and 18, both at universities - one in the UK the other in Italy. Through them, I happen to know quite a few kids their age.
And ALL OF THEM seem to universally hate AI.
To them it's "something old people invented that we now have to deal with... as if climate change wasnt enough"
AI is cringe. When they introduce me to their friends, they literally say "heyya, meet my dad, he's a software engineer but nonono, NOT IN AI, dont worry, hahah".
They hate it for flooding their social feeds with slop, ruining music, taking phone scams to the next level, also destroying careers & devaluing their hobbies - why become an architect, this skill is about to become worthless? Why learn a musical instrument if session musicians are already obsolete?
The outcome is interesting, though - they're spending less and less time on public social, meeting up IRL, moving their online lives into private group chats with actual verified friends. TikTok and Reels are increasingly cringe-something for old dudes.
Which, I guess, might be a net positive after all...

Anyone claiming Israel’s response to the Oct 7 attack was 'disproportionate' needs to explain what a proportionate plan to disarm Hamas and rescue the hostages would've been
