So there's this stuff people at my work place claim, about £140 pounds tax relief for washing your uniform, they said I could apply for it too. I've gone through it and I tick all the boxes, but I don't know if it's public fund and if I'm entitled to it. Make 140 quid no go purge belle. Please does anyone know about it and am I safe to go ahead with it.
Note: I'm on skilled worker dependent visa

It's not public funds

Hello house,

I have just renewed my NG passport here in the UK, However, I am trying to validate the passport on an airline's website and it gives an error. However when I inputted the details of my expired passport - it was accepted. Has anyone experienced this before and how did you go about it?

Hello
I currently work with BT group but I have a stem masters. Can someone suggest certification courses I can do to transition into higher roles within BT
My suggestion is that you stay where you are and look out in the internal jobs portal for graduate programmes in IT and Engineering which comes up roughly every 2 to 4 years. It’s easy to navigate internally in BT if you know your way. Or look at other parts of the business there might be openings that would interest you.

It's possible you have a 10 year ban. The UK visa process is straight forward, I wonder why anyone will use an agent. cry

Go through the refusal letter you were issued with and see the reasons on which you were refused…. From what you’ve stated that your agent done scatter your chances..

In other news.. UCLAN looking to cut 5% of its workforce.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-68744810

This government or the next needs to look at raising uni fees which has remained at £9,250 since 2017 to better support unis. I wonder why local uni fees (like most other things) does not rise with inflation.

The government has to strike a balance that also takes into consideration affordability for UK students, especially those from middle and working class backgrounds. If universities were allowed to charge what they wanted, with no cap in place, it would very quickly become unattainable for the majority from the above backgrounds, or become like the US where many are shackled by student loan debt for most of their working lives.

Before the Tories came into power, university fees were paid by the government and many students paid little to nothing. So to go from that to graduating with c30k student debt is already seen as unfair.
