End of term, so time to slip out some reports.
That Chief Inspector of Borders who got fired a while back? His report details amongst other things that 275 visas were given out to a sponsoring care home that, erm, doesn't exist.
1 compliance officer for every 1600 employers who can sponsor [EDITED from original 100].
2019 manifesto pledge to introduce bottle deposits? Already bounced to 2025, not Barclay says that's not realistic, how about 2027!
Healthy Start programme to let poorer families buy vitamins/healthy food? Erm, sorry, we underestimated the numbers eligible, and therefore overestimated the uptake.
2021 - govt announce support for overseas fossil fuel projects will be only in exceptional circumstances. 134 times, and 747 million quid of exceptions (about 1% of overseas aid, I think).
Ministers didn't need to approve them and weren't aware.
Hospital patients going to care homes won't get a routine covid test on leaving, unless they show symptoms. Comes in on Monday.
Gender pay gap grew from 6.77% in 21/22 to 8.09% in 22/23.
I'm not for one minute expecting there to be a change to this Bad News Day policy after an election, but that's a busy day.
