The Government has detained and removed over 35,000 people with no right to be here.   But this is only the beginning. I will scale up the removal of illegal migrants.   I will do whatever it takes to secure our borders.

NHS data officer's network raises concerns about the way NHS England is rolling out its federated data platform. The idea might be sound, but the implementation is as ever getting bumpy. Thoughts?

...there was a new figure (19k returns!) and a press release embargoed until 1700, when a new "data" publication arrived. The 16.4k covered data up to the end of Dec, which will be made available, in full, scrutinisable detail later this month. Same can't be said for the 19k.

This is not correct. <1/3 of the "returns" since last July were enforced returns. The largest single group in "returns" are pretty much always people who left of their own accord and whose departure the Home Office only discovered later when (e.g.) checking visa data.

The public must have confidence in the UK's immigration system. Through our Plan for Change, we have removed almost 19,000 people including failed asylum seekers, foreign criminals and immigration offenders from the UK since July 2024.

Harder to see an 'economic crash' in the sense of a recession or spike in unemployment in late 2022, early 2023.

Easy enough to see a strong, temporary spike in mortgage rates immediately after that.

Here's what happened to the price of government borrowing in the week of the mini-Budget. The BoE announcement had an effect. So did the mini-Budget. So did Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng saying there was "more to come" that weekend.
