What a miserable sod you are.

This is something that's been worrying me since it was announced a few months ago.

I've been here for 4 years, have invested in this country, believe in the future of it, am literally teaching the children of it, but the thought I won't be able to be treated as a citizen is disturbing to me.

Tbh, the whole anti-migrant rhetoric is already making my friends on ILR look at moving.

Of course, they’re all the ones with the money and talent *to* move. Which isn’t what politicians are selling as the consequence of ILR-bashing. But it’s what will happen.

The 10 year wait for Indefinite Leave to Remain will make the UK very unattractive for high skilled workers who often have alternatives. 2019 data (excluding the NHS and universities) shows that high skilled workers on visas are heavily concentrated in multinationals who can move jobs abroad (5/x)

Idk whether the greens will, but there is another party that has something nearing 100 MPs that might be worth chatting to...

Can’t believe I FINALLY have an occasion to wear my velocirapture T-shirt tomorrow

T-shirt showing a velociraptor (that must believe in the second coming of Jesus) being lifted up to heaven. The text says VELOCIRAPTURE

Reform’s call to deport ALL people who legally make a life here - paying taxes, forming families, volunteering and even being elected - needs calling out.

Contrary to Farage, ILR doesn’t = criminal. They ARE net contributors to our economy.

An expensive, hateful & stupid plan.

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

I don't read many edu books these days, but this is fabulous. Required reading for anyone who wasn't around when the changes happened and maybe for those who were, but have forgotten the dark times.

Despite a rocket few years, I still feel so lucky to be a part of education here 🙏🏽

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

It's amazing that that low level of civility was even seen as admirable then. Grim state of affairs.

Someone on the tube was listening to a video without headphones. So I gave them a dirty look, turned to the person I was travelling with and said 'ugh noise polluters'. That person now has headphones in.

My good deed for the day.
