Trade unions are putting pressure on the government to soften proposed changes to immigration rules, which would make it harder for foreign workers to secure permanent residency in the UK.

These laws and restrictions remain in effect.That is partly because, until now, they have had no practical effect – before Burnham, there has not been a Catholic or Jewish prime minister.Although Benjamin Disraeli – prime minister in the late-1800s – was born to a Jewish family, his father renounced Judaism and had…

Then Bo French got on X.The Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner posted a photo of a crowd of University of Texas football fans, most of them people of color, saying, “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”The Sunday morning comments, which appeared to target South Asian students, sent Lone Star Republicans into a frenzy, worried about the impact the rhetoric could have on GOP candidates up and down the ballot, including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s high-profile Senate race and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s reelection…
