Agree with the judge BUT this piece is *so annoying* as it still saying that the original applic was made under the Ukr Scheme when it clearly was not. They just used that form as it was the closest type of application, per the correct procedure. It was always an Art 8/outside the Rules decision.

This, along with sidelining regulation in favour of growth, ignoring Brexit effects and migration policies makes me unlikely to vote Labour again.

How do we ensure that “sharing values and positively contributing” continues through multiple generations? This is quite bizarre
