To get many types of visa you already have to prove your English level, have a job in an important area, and contribute thousands of £££ towards the NHS. Announcing reforms to something that already exists is a waste of money and an attempt to appease the Farage voters 😠😠

Ragin'! It doesn't matter that many English people don't have A-level English, volunteer in the community, or even A JOB, yet Labour are coming after *all* immigrants in their pandering to the current angry mob.. https://t.co/KGWDvuDf0X

Actually really sad to hear that Nigel Latta has passed away. His work on parenting, and his TV shows on difficult topics were really thought-provoking and challenged me to think differently. Stupid cancer. https://t.co/mz0Bgfl0HR

Final vibes babes, it’s the ultimate Fat Bear Junior face-off. 128’s yearling Biggie goes paw to paw with 26’s spring cub princess. Only one cub is moving on to the big bear bracket next week, so who gets your vote?
