That these racist thugs have morphed into "far right influencers" is central. Being a bigot used to be a hobby. It is now a profession. We don't have to treat the monetisation of hate as an inevitable phenomenon. We can regulate platforms - not to supress speech, but to remove financial incentives.

Reading in the HSJ this morning that “Streeting accuses trusts and ICBs of seeking to cut deficits too sharply” is probably the closest I’ve come an apoplectic stroke in my life.

All of this is being put out to placate the right wing press... In the meantime, it's causing fear & confusion. As I understand it: ● this only applies to some people on skilled visas ● it's not "A level English" it's something called SELT ● much the same requirement exists elsewhere in EU
