New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries.
Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5
ALT Bar chart shows the upfront costs for similar visa routes for researchers in the UK, US, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. UK costs are multiple times higher than other countries and the biggest factor for this is the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).

Nigel Farage is a privately educated stockbroker who could not give a damn about the working class. You'll never hear him talk about poverty or workers' rights. He's not standing against the elite — he's a member of the elite. A poundshop Enoch Powell trying to stay relevant.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Roger, the population was 2m in 1066. 10k was a 0.5% increase.
Today's population is 66m. 125k over 5 years is a 0.037% a year increase.
Also, the Normans spent the subsequent decade laying waste to the North. By contrast, modern immigrants staff the NHS and harvest our food.

It’s thought that William the Conqueror’s invasion force in 1066 was no more than 10,000 strong. Compare the 125,000 illegal migrants in the last five years. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Why have I not heard the Tories suggest that parents worried about paying 20% VAT on private school fees need to learn how to budget and live on meals for 30p a day? Why is it acceptable to treat the most vulnerable with such contempt, but not fairly wealthy people 1

Nigel Farage has been on the BBC AT LEAST once every day since Rishi Sunak called the Election.
Green's 0 times, Independents 0 times, SNP 0 times.
I think you get the picture.

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics and media that the only person to have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of inflammatory and racist comments, is a journalist who accurately reported them as such
