I note requests to have British Citizenship are going to have to be accompanied by proof of English to A - Level Standard.
Perhaps it might more better to be (inc granting settled status) to have read , and understood, John Bunyan''s Pilgrims Progress, Milton's Paradise Lost (currently being serialised by Victoria Coren on Only Connect) and maybe the complete works of William Blake

Re: If I Were In Charge
Rachel Reeves still getting tied up in financial knots.
Not a full salve but I still think the removal of rates on housing and commerical premises was the biggest mistake. I would suggest in the first instance increasing the number of council tax bands , followed by the reversion to rateable values , poundage and a "fiddle factor" to move some revenue from richer areas to poorer ones. Reliefs of course for those on low incomes / single person households.
This moves to a more progressive and affordable form of hopefully funding at least local government
