Turnout in Italian citizenship referendum at 30.6% so below the (high) 50% turnout threshold. But over 11 million Italians voted in the referendum over these two days and over 65% of them in favor of changing from a 10 year to a 5 year residence requirement. elezioni.repubblica.it/2025/referen...

The CJEU has ruled that Member States cannot prosecute asylum-seeking mothers who travelled on false documents with their children as people smugglers - in a judgment with broader implications for the criminalisation of immigration. My analysis: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2025/06/a-ca...

Reminder that EU law on this is clear: Member States can only extend the period of a short term visa waiver for non-EU citizens on the basis of a pre-Schengen treaty with a non-EU country. Several proposals to change the rule have failed. Expecting the EU to change the rule for the UK is delusional.

UT: "[ ] the Tribunal cannot afford excessive indulgence for non-compliance with the requirements of the rules. Whether a party is represented or not, they are required to identify the arguable errors of law in the grounds of appeal". How is a litigant in person suposed to do this?

To those concern with earned citizenship I warmly recommend Ann Dummett's ‘Changes to Citizenship’ Journal of Immigration, Asylum & Nationality Law, vol.22 no.3, 2008, pp213-7 in which she memorably categorised the then earned citizenship proposals as wordy, pretentious, bossy & contradictory.

Labours's 2008 "earned citizenship" policies started life as a way of makng people fee included, but morphed into additional hurdles for them to surmount. See my [very old] article The Borders, Citizenship & Immigration Act 2009 [2010] JIANL Vol 24 No. 2 118-133 philarchive.org/archive/MALCAG

"He asked those present to vote on whether they wanted to give their views on the whole of the green paper, & not just the questions selected by ministers". They polled yes, & gave views on all questions which DWP recorded. Lessons here for all those 'consulted' by govt, whether in person or not.
