Mostly with talent and skilled people, you cannot expect them to hang around waiting for their visa approval and paying rip off fees! Will the UKG listen? I doubt…🫤
"If governments want to boost growth, making visas for skilled workers simpler and cheaper is an obvious place to start."

I think I should stop buying cashews, I have finished another 300 g pack in 2-3 days🙄
Cashews are good for the health but in moderation as always.
How do I stop my cashews cravings though?

I was surprised to find out that in France I cannot find moving boxes 📦 53x53x42 cm which of standard size in UK.
In France 60x40x40 cm is more common instead.
Why such differences? Do British people pack more squared items whereas French more rectangular ones?

What does it mean closer links with the EU if then the UK red-lines won’t be dropped?
It’s again asking for a unicorn 🦄 and looking only about trade and not about people benefits! You cannot have one w/o the other.

Given these defections, the Reform Party should rename itself the Reconservative Party. Or Retories for short.

The photo she is using is the one used for her driving licence renewal, so how it cannot be complaint? Broken Britain 🇬🇧
My sister is applying for the UK ETA: she is facing the same problems with the photo I add - too big, too small, too close, not too close, shoulders, no smile - I think the system is done to discourage people applying for it. 😇

You’re asking for politicians to be honest rather than dancing cynically to the tunes of the far right and the MSM… not happening.
How has the Guardian covered this issue over the last 10 years? Honestly reported the impact on GDP? correctly identified root causes etc?

This morning, albeit it was 6 C outside, I finally did a small DIY project: putting the insulation film on my windows. I don’t know if my apartment will be warmer now, but if I could save a few hundred euros on my gas bill it will be worth it and cheaper than the long due double glazing windows.!
