Agree. But because of how grudgingly they've done it, I don't know how much political credit they'll get.
If they'd found a way to do it last year, it would have felt like a confident affirmation of identity ("Labour's back and this is what we stand for"). Now it feels like they're buying support.

How much do we spend on welfare?

Since 2012-13, total welfare spending has actually fallen by 1.2 per cent of GDP.

While I suspect Vigil is the right answer, there's a Tomb Raider TV series in the works and Svalbard has featured in the games. (Although a quick google suggests filming isn't set to begin till 2026.)

This class is "degenerate" (i.e. multiple internal states can produce the same external state - see above reply for summary).
The public-facing feature is "has it picked the fastest path". Checking the internal state is a proxy for that and a short-cut test of no future weirdness.

It definitely feels icky!
It's a "patch" system where the underlying data can be updated or the patch can be applied dynamically on data readout. The user shouldn't be able to tell them apart. But that makes confirming what's happened hard!
