Biden isn't hanging about, trillions of $$$'s for pandemic related stuff and infrastructure, now he's going for gun control
“They’ve offered plenty of thoughts and prayers, members of Congress, but they’ve passed not a single new federal law to reduce gun violence,” Biden said. “Enough prayers. Time for some action.”

Good on him, he may or may not be a one term president but he is out to leave a legacy.

A campaigner for EU citizens’ rights in the UK has said she is in a state of shock after the Home Office rejected her application for settled status despite her having lived in the country for more than half her life.

Dahaba Ali, 27, moved to the UK at the age of 10. She was born in the Netherlands where her mother was granted refugee status after fleeing the conflict in Somalia.

She works as a producer on BBC Newsnight and Politics Live as well as writing for various national print media. Ali is also a prominent campaigner with the organisation The3Million which campaigns for the rights of EU citizens in the UK.

She’ll get that decision corrected, surely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’d guess the problem is that if it is corrected does it create a two tier approach, where those with some sort of public profile are able to push through their application while those who don’t are not able to.

The question should be why the Tory government is targeting her.

That should be very concerning. Active std and campaigners should watch out now.

He's almost guaranteed to be a one term president. He should go for broke. Hopefully he can get something done on climate change.

Sounds like a nothing story, in the body of the article you can see that the basis of refusal was that she didn't appear to meet the 5 year continued residence threshold for settled status. The Home Office sent her some e-mails to request more information but they ended up in her spam folder so she didn't see them. Hardly a national scandal.

Must have bounced back enough to go home

Seen it a couple of times now with older relatives on the way out. They get very ill and then recover only to pass quite quickly after the bounce back

A lot of people miss a few emails without such serious consequences.

But oh look, Columbo has solved it already. These idiots prepared this piece of news and put it out there without knowing that it shouldn't matter that she missed some emails.
