Starting off Monday with news on the immigration white paper – tune into the PM’s press conference happening now youtube.com/live/6GTB-Gt7P…

The Graduate visa now under scrutiny at the Home Office, according to the FT, was of course introduced (in 2021) against the advice of the independent Migration Advisory Committee

@mckinneytweets Uh oh…

‼️ Good news! Hong Kong BN(O) holders no longer require an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to travel to the UK! Thank you, Seema Malhotra, and all who were pushing for this change.

The long-rumoured UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme could now be on the negotiating table between the Government and EU Commission. We examine its potential benefits and discuss the likelihood of implementation. shorturl.at/4pEGf #UKimmigration #EU #youthmobility

The Home Office: "eVisas are secure and cannot be tampered with" 🚨 Right now: people are seeing details of passports and biometric residence cards that are not their own, linked to their account. If this is not tampering, then what is?

@gardencourtlaw @BerryAdrianC @acmogan It was a great event, thank you for hosting.

🛂 Our 'It’s Criminal: Yet Another Borders Bill?' seminar on the Border Security, Asylum & Immigration Bill 2025 was highly attended! Thanks to Sonali Naik KC, Adrian Berry, Jennifer Twite & Audrey Cherryl Mogan for their expert analysis & to all who joined us in person & online.

@Oscar_Davies_ This is incredible, love it!

The real-life impacts of Government policy can be rapidly and devastatingly felt by migrants and refugees. The recent change to 'Nationality: good character requirement' caseworker guidance is to face its first (of many, I imagine) judicial review. shorturl.at/KxZ5x

The old-fashioned term "dependants" being the standard term for partners and children is probably unhelpful, as people understandably assume all dependants are economically inactive.

@gardencourtlaw @BerryAdrianC Brilliant, congratulations @BerryAdrianC!

Merry Christmas. Cartoon by the wonderful Liz Climo

Three trains worth of people trying to fit on one train, the Friday before Christmas on the West Coast Main Line and your staff are trying to force the seat reservations and unreserved carriages. @AvantiWestCoast pathetic.

A very happy Christmas from @AvantiWestCoast who have cancelled my train home from London Euston to Glasgow on Friday night. Ho ho ho.

L'Humanité du 19 décembre : Gisèle Pelicot, merci madame 📰 humanite.fr

Home Affairs Cttee just launched an inquiry into asylum accommodation. This is such an important inquiry at a critical time in the life of the current contracts. @FreefromTorture & @SSOonline will be putting in our evidence of the impact of asylum housing on survivors of torture

Gisèle Pelicot is the strongest person I've ever seen - what an incredible woman.
