This is simply wrong from Rishi Sunak.

A few years ago, Westminster magistrates court downgraded the press room from a large area (with a view) to a small, windowless room.
We complained, but adjusted

When prisoners are released do we want them to
A. Return to crime and be a burden on the state?
or
B. Get a job, work hard, pay taxes and take care of their families? -
If the answer is B then we need more of what @HMPAskham and @McDonaldsUK are doing

HM Government last week: we want to clamp down on students bringing in their dependents.
HM Government this week: no need to change anything, it’s actually fine.
So the government does not, contra recent media reports, have a problem with the number of student dependant visas being issued? hansard.parliament.uk/lords/…
