The number of European Union citizens moving to the UK has plunge by up to 90 percent since Brexit, according to Office for National Statistics estimates. In 2021, 43,000 received a visa for work, study or family purposes compared with up to 430,000 in the six years to March 2020. Hospitality, support services and low paid jobs are thought to be the worst affected sectors. Commentators have noted that there are causes beyond the UK’s departure from the European Union.

The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford and ReWage, a think tank, have said other factors of causation for the rising vacancy rate include a trend ...

British motorists are paying higher petrol prices than anywhere else in Europe except Finland, the RAC claimed as it attacked the Government’s failure to reduce fuel duties. Prices are at least 20p per litre cheaper in the eurozone’s big four economies of Germany, France, Italy and Spain, while many countries made much bigger cuts to fuel taxes, according to the motoring group. Drivers were handed a 5p per litre cut to fuel duty by Rishi Sunak when he was chancellor, a £2.4bn giveaway. But it is dwarfed by the action taken by many European countries, including Germany, Italy and Ireland. The RAC found that the average petrol price in the UK is 186p per litre, higher than all 27 EU countries bar 190p in Finland. It also revealed that the UK ranks 12th out of the 13 countries that cut f...

UK doctors less likely to resuscitate the most seriously ill patients since Covid, a survey suggests. Covid-19 may have changed doctors’ decision-making regarding end of life, making them more willing not to resuscitate very sick or frail patients and raising the threshold for referral to intensive care, according to the results of the research published in the Journal of Medical Ethics. However, the pandemic has not changed their views on euthanasia and doctor-assisted dying, with about a third of respondents still strongly opposed to these policies, the survey responses reveal. The Covid-19 pandemic transformed many aspects of clinical medicine, including end-of-life care, prompted by millions more patients than usual requiring it around the world, say the researchers. The survey...
