@JRFBoy Student visa mostly. They get time to say here before they either leave of claim asylum.

Genuinely what visa are people like this here on? They’re not illegal immigrants, so our system actively imports people to do these jobs and I’d like to know the means by which we do it.

These people are fighting tooth and nail to lock in the hundreds of thousands of low-skilled migrants (and dependents) who arrived through the worst visa route of all time. And they're probably going to win. Just very depressing.

Even supporters of Angela Rayner spy a leadership strategy in her comments on migration Any contender would need support from key unions One union official said: "UNISON represents a lot of migrant social care workers. Rayner coming out publicly won’t go unnoticed"

Starmer and Mahmood must double down. End Commonwealth voting for countries that don't reciprocate it. Extend ILR to 15 years. Ban the use of foreign-language materials for campaigning.

@M0kujin @tomhfh Interesting to know. The tories entrenched and encouraged certain aspects of the Blairtie state. I’m about to do my law dissertation on these regulatory frameworks so I’m interested. From the outside looking in it looks like things are going wrong. The FCA might get gutted soon.

@samfoste @tomhfh This happened under the Tories It was part of a wide initiative where companies, investors, and industry bodies looked at how governance and transparency could be improved. This was then part of the outcome led by the FCA. It improves investor confidence

@tomhfh This is to manage risk and reduce groupthink. And help mitigate against huge financial disasters It’s also not a legal requirement, it’s comply or explain why Again Tom you’re clearly not even basic checking before putting out stuff you clearly don’t understand

Modellers say that the generational tobacco ban will bring the smoking rate among 12-30 year olds down to 5% by 2049 if all goes well. Is that supposed to sound like a success?! 🧵 independent.co.uk/news/health/sm…

@John_Stepek @sadbokkie I work part time at the Co-op as a team leader while doing my masters. I’m getting a pay rise so will earn £14.50 an hour there. If I went full time I’d be on *basically* 30k. My friend who’s about to qualify as an electrical engineer for Thames W is only offered 31k…

@sadbokkie I'd guess that £24k a year is enough for a single person in their 20s to live on, in most parts of the UK.

The generational boundaries are ofc completely arbitrary. Its true many older Boomers lived through tough times when young but then had beneficial circumstances maintained up to and through the GFC into today. Many younger Boomers and some older Gen X have had perfect conditions. The real inflection point imho was the Millenium Property Bubble. We bought in 2002 and I recall being horrified that London prices had doubled or more in the previous 5-7 years. Peers just one or two years ahead had already doubled up and were trading up the ladder (yes it actually was a ladder back then…). Many buying in on the wrong side of the Millenium waited for a crash that would never come or were not able to trade up. Many people later into the market worried about the leverage position - and so ofc their mortgages were fixed when the ZIRP hit. Clearly people following behind have - insanely - been in an even worse situation with elevated prices and student debts as well. But that was the first inflexion point. Somewhere around 2000. Anyway. Thats all water under the bridge. What to do now? Well they are talking about liberalising the mortgage market again. Student debts are now at horrific levels. AI means that much cognitive training could rapidly become useless. I’m jokingly telling the kids I recommend that they learn mortgage fraud at 6th Form and find a way to leverage to the moon before the next bubble is blown up. Going to Uni NOW to get a job and a mortgage and stagger into the next credit bubble in maybe 5-7 years time with £75k of debt around your neck is absolute madness. Only makes sense if you are at Oxbridge level and are going to get an elite job quickly. Even then if you are good enough there’s probably better options. But then will there be a debt jubilee for students? Or a freeze on interest and then inflate it all away. Who the fuck knows tbh?

The Boomer Generation. 1946 to 1964. The generation who didn't have it all. The generation who played as children in the rubble of cities like London, Coventry and Plymouth, all heavily bombed in WW2. The rebuilding didn't start in earnest until the mid 1960s. The generation who were often malnourished and suffered from rickets when they were children because food rationing didn't end until 1954. The generation whose working classes lived in slum housing with no inside bathrooms. Whose baths were taken in tin tubs dragged once a week into kitchens, and the water shared by the rest of the family. Dad went last when the water was lukewarm and scummy. The generation who started work at 15 or 16 and didn't get a chance at university. Unless you were posh. The generation who didn't often own cars or TVs and who had two bar electric fires to heat the whole house. If they were lucky. The generation whose womenfolk didn't have any form of equality in the workplace or in the divorce courts. The generation who, if they were lucky, had a landline. But they shared it with the neighbours. And their furniture was hand me downs. The Boomer Generation. The generation who didn't have it all.

It means people have more wriggle room to take on debt when conditions improve - its a good driver for a housing and spending boom when mortages become more easy to access and interest rates fall. House prices grew 2.8% in January, the fastest since records began.telegraph.co.uk/money/investin…
