This is a shameful ‘apology’ @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social The thought for the day commentator was absolutely right.

Such a beautiful (and beautifully written) tribute.

Is there a publicly available list of papers/researchers for this conference anywhere? Would love to have a read through the research on this (and a couple of the others you’ve posted). Thanks.

Fascinating! On the persuasive urge to 'do your own research' - often urged in environment of distrust, can be helpful - but also connected to conspiracy theories and reinforcing existing biases.

Welcome in! I seem to remember they tell you to expect about three months. Ours was a spouse visa journey so don’t know if that makes any difference.

Obvs i appreciate we’re just one data point, but anecdotally heard similar from others.

Par for the course for Immigration Office. Their answer is consistently ‘we can’t tell you’. Tbf the naturalisation decision was very fast for us (about three weeks). But that came after 3 visa applications over 6 years (as it has to), all of which took a lot longer. ILR is the big one, really.

Do you have a mailing list we can join?

Timely (again). Thank you!
