The government have opened a consultation on drastically limiting the Indefinite Leave to Remain system.
Presumably they're hoping not many people will notice that it's taking place.
So if you have views or know anyone who does, please take the opportunity to respond.

Thought we’d make something a bit different for Xmas this year so we’ve put a load of our World Cup drawings on a jigsaw puzzle. It’s 1000 pieces, an absolute bastard to complete and, like so many things, it’s only improved by adding Nessun Dorma over the top 🇮🇹

This turned into a good thread of replies if you want to revamp your Christmas movie plans
Apart from The Holdovers, cinema Christmas schedules are the same old same old: Die Hard, Home Alone, Elf, Muppets, It's a Wonderful Life… What would you select? (I'd suggest Carol, The Apartment, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Batman Returns, The Shop Around the Corner, Scrooged, Krampus and Go)

This is why it is good that financial literacy is going to be taught in schools. On average, if you are 20, you should save in an index fund and not worry about it for decades, and he should know this!
Josh Hall, 20, is 'worried' about how the cash ISA allowance cut announced in Wednesday’s Budget will affect his long-term savings plans

So many existing oil + gas licenses, pipelines, wells are sited in Marine 'Protected' Areas, as shown on our Watershed Pollution Map. The pollution risks + risks to wildlife if existing licences are expanded are likely to be huge:

I love how the obvious response to this - tone down rhetoric and anti-immigration policy - is both essentially economically costless and also absolutely anathema to Number 10 strategists.
The fundamental political-economy for the government is that is objectively implementing a soft left economic policy on speed whilst being hated by lots of left leaning people because of its other policies and rhetoric.
