Sadiq Khan

The Government (and Labour) say immigration among skilled labour is too high.

Yesterday, Sadiq Khan said that even if you trained everyone in London, London would still not have enough people to fill the available jobs.

How to create grounds If you are struggling with the submissions section of your skeleton argument, here is a suggestion: 1.) Create an event timeline. Start with your own events. Then expand to the period June 2016 (when the Brexit vote happened) until today. Add as many facts as possible. 2.) Exp...

Tell the Judges about the 90% refusal rate I don't think the judges know the Home Office refused over 90% of Zambrano carer EUSS applications. Here is the link to the EUSS statistics - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/eu-settlement-scheme-statistics If you are appealing your refusal, or yo...

Procedural Impropriety & Statutory Instruments I used to complain about bad statutory instruments. But bad statutory instruments are the result of a failure to follow procedure. The proper procedure is something like this: The Government has an idea. They are supposed to -talk to experts. -coll...

How Chaos Occurred Step 1 - Breach of Legitimate Expectation: Advertise the new scheme with false promises of fairness and humanity Step 2 - Procedural Impropriety: Refuse to fulfill statutory requirements to consult with experts, do impact assessments, respond to questions from MPs, talk to the pe...

Judicial Review Grounds Summary 1.) An error in law The Home Secretary - applies the wrong test for settlement, or - acts outside its statutory powers, - takes into account irrelevant matters or - fails to consider relevant matters 2.)

Settled Status = 410 families Can we pause for a moment and reflect? Just 410 Zambrano families were granted settled status. Out of 14,430 applications. I remember writing in the fall and winter of 2020, that most people would be refused. Someone responded that I was "scaremongering". The...

Correction 14,430 not 11,430 Applications concluded 14,430 of which are Settled status received 1,250 1250 / 14, 430 = 0.0866 or 8.7% Over 10 thousand families have been refused. Where is the Independent Monitoring Association (IMA)? Where are the Members of Parliament? Where are the lawyers? Why d...

We may add this point to our appeals in my opinion, or would you pls suggest me to best way to use this point? Krish is our newest detective! Great work! These numbers are so disappointing. What kind of residence scheme approves just 8.7% of all applicants? It's just awful. 1250/11430 - 0.0866 or 8...

Hey, Hey @Wishfulgirl :) Great to hear from you! You must be excited to get a decision soon. :) :) It seems you are the only one left on this forum. I assume the other views are from people in other Appendix EU categories. I will target my updates to your situation. Your case is really strong, by t...

NAD WINS!!! HURRAH!! Dear MarcidevPAL Thank you for your kind words. I deeply appreciate your dedication, guidance, and the value of the information you provided. During the period of waiting for my appeal decision, I maintained a calm and focused demeanor , thanks to the invaluable assistance and ...

Vote for the Person, not (necessarily) the Party Just to be clear, I am not saying you should vote for one party over another. Nope. One of the strongest pro-Zambrano politicians represented the SNP. And his party didn't save him. Labour has never talked about Zambrano carers. There are some Tory M...

Change at your doorstep Sir Kier Starmer (SKS) discussed what made him decide to give the vote to EUSS people. He said it was because of what happened when he went knocking door to door, asking for votes. Many Europeans who answered the door said, "My spouse and children can vote. I can't - ev...

The End of the "Super" Hostile Environment? Tory MP Dominic Raab announced he will not try to hold onto his seat in next year's general election. He blames left wing media. His most recent role as Justice Minister was to oversee the Courts, Prisons, etc. Braverman is under increasing pres...

Settled Status Residents to Get the Vote? Currently, EUSS residents do not qualify to vote in UK elections. Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to allow EUSS residents to vote - if Labour wins the next general election. Even if Labour has to govern with the Liberal Democrats, I suspect both would work tog...

A Possible Compromise: The Customs Union It may take a while for the UK to have the second referendum on EU membership. The EU may also not want the headache. Both parties could agree on a compromise: the UK could rejoin the European customs union. The UK was willing to remain a part of the customs...

EU Settlement If you lost your appeal(s), there is a little bit of good news. Over 60% of British people think Brexit was more of a failure, than a success. Less than 10% consider Brexit to be more of a success than a failure. 56% of people think the country was WRONG to vote for Brexit. Just 31% t...

If you lost at the Upper Tribunal Maybe you lost at the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal. Maybe you won at the First-tier Tribunal but lost at the Upper Tribunal. Then you find out in September 2023 that Celik wins. You think, I don't want to remain on Appendix FM for the next ? years. I want...

Paul Blomfield, MP

Paul Blomfield is one of the 3 or so MPs who publicly support Zambrano carers.

He is in a safe Labour seat. He would almost certainly win if he were to run again.

In February 2022, he announced he will not run again at the next general election.

Interesting, no?

Stephen Gethins, SNP Stephen Gethins was one of the 3 or so politicians who publicly supported Zambrano carers. He lost his seat at the 2019 general election. He was the only SNP candidate to lose. Moreover, his party won 8.1% more of the vote than in 2017, when it won 35 seats. Ms Sturgeon said th...

WHEN THE STORY IS TOLD... From where I stand, it looks like the following happened: 1.) Create a contract called a Withdrawal Agreement. 2.) Write the contract in such a way as to exclude Zambrano carers from most parts of it. 3.) Create legal documents (statutory instruments) that refer to the par...

How to file a Judicial review So, you want a judicial review? Perhaps you are on legal aid? Perhaps you are not on legal aid, but you are willing to take the financial risk? You can't appeal a decision by the Upper Tribunal via the judicial review process. You CAN still file for judicial review, ho...

Akinsaya, Celik & Prospective-only quashing orders Let's say Akinsaya's new judicial review finally happens and Akinsaya wins. The Court of Appeal may issue a prospective-only quashing order. Any previous unlawful decisions would be upheld. Let's say your situation is almost exactly like Akinsa...
