3 In response to British guarantee for Poland, Hitler unilaterally cancelled the Agreement on 29 June 1939. The UK govt reminded him that a one-sided cancellation isn't legal & offered to negotiate (!). The history book says: "Hitler was very angered by this 'insolence' on the part of the British."
Die britische Regierung weist in ihrer Antwort auf die deutsche Kündigung des Flottenabkommens auf die Notwendigkeit eines beiderseitigen Einvernehmens hin. Der Vertrag schließt eine einseitige Aufkün-digung während der Laufzeit aus. London bietet deshalb Verhandlungen an. Über diese „Unverschämtheit" der Briten zeigt sich HITLER sehr verärgert. .Translation: In its response to Germany’s termination of the fleet agreement, the British government points out the need for mutual agreement.

Doubling leave to remain timeframe for UK care workers ‘cruel’, say campaigners
Experts and activists back Mike Tapp’s proposal for care worker exclusion that led to row with Shabana Mahmood Doubling the leave to remain timeframe for care workers to 10 years is “cruel and unconscionable”, according to workers rights campaigners who back a Home Office minister’s proposal to exclude the cohort from the government’s immigration plans. Mike Tapp is at the centre of a political row with the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, after writing an article in which he said migrant care workers should be excluded from plans to retrospectively change the length of time people must work before they can permanently settle in the UK.

It's all too easy for people to miss it, or dismiss it as "it's just Palestine Action, or Extinction Rebellion, nothing to do with me".
