not very well paid but always there for us
One of the things I remember most about living in Downing Street was how amazingly friendly, generous and kind the team who keep the place going are - the cleaners, custodians, front of house and the police. Working all hours, not very well-paid but always there for us.

Story with

and
@venetiamenzies
. As a result of Brexit changes, thousands of immigrants from non-EU countries are coming to the UK to be build lives…. while EU migrants face tougher hoops to jump through
Some good immigration news. As I wrote:
"The new system represents a very significant tightening of controls on EU migration. However, it's a considerable liberalization for non-EU migrants, with lower salary and skill thresholds, and no overall cap."
