New data provides fascinating insights into outcomes of refugees granted status between 2015 and 2020 Both asylum (ARR) and resettled refugees (RR) struggled in labour market, but particular the latter - likely reflecting that many were selected based on vulnerability

Also interesting: large differences in routes to the UK by nationality. Pakistani and Bangladeshi applicants much more likely to come on visas

Useful new stats from @ukhomeoffice on how asylum applicants travel to the UK Significant increase in applications from people on visas (mostly work, study or visit), not just small boats

Text of the UK-France small boats treaty published. Key points: ➤ Process to take up to 3 months from arrival in UK ➤ Doesn’t apply to unaccompanied minors ➤ FR can refuse to accept specific ppl back & will give aggregated data on reasons for refusals. UK will prioritise

I’ve always wondered how employers & workers split the cost of UK immigration fees Here it is for Skilled Worker visas from a Home Office survey of sponsors Surprisingly little variation by industry/employer size (in underlying data tables)

Plenty of recent speculation about whether a UK-France deal on small boat returns will be announced this week. Would such a deal bring down arrivals? And what are some other options to improve cooperation with France and the EU? New commentary 👇 https://t.co/2Vkkezli7X

Have loved working at @Policy_Exchange with fantastic colleagues. Excited to announce a book deal with @politybooks 'Make Bureaucracy Great Again' on the collapse and rebuild of UK state capacity (due mid 26), and thanks to @tylercowen for EV support. Other projects to follow!

What rights do unauthorised migrants get? Interesting new paper looks at what rights 28 European countries give ppl without legal right to be there Most countries allow access to emergency care & kids' schooling, few (unsurprisingly) offer financial support

Our director on whether it's likely that weather explains the increase in small boat crossings over the past 8 months TLDR: no
Deeply sceptical about argument that long-term increase in small boat crossings results from weather Here’s why – interested in counterarguments! 1. Yes, weather affects crossings *in short run*. That is clear in data Also more crossings in summer, when risk of death is lower
