The Telegraph: ‘Skilled migration’ is now an open-borders racket
The UK's new points-based immigration policy, introduced by Boris Johnson, was initially met with skepticism from progressives who feared economic repercussions from reduced low-skilled immigration. Despite promises to lower overall migration numbers, net migration soared from under 200,000 in 2019 to a record 906,000 in 2023.
Critics, including Keir Starmer, have labeled the Tory approach as an "open borders experiment." Data indicates that only 15% of the two million non-European arrivals in the past five years came to work, undermining claims that the policy attracted skilled labor to boost the economy.

St. Angela of Foligno emphasizes that prayer is a "School of Divine Loving," where one learns to love God as He loves us. This form of love is essential for unity with God and is vital for the renewal of the Church. Engaging in retreats can help cultivate this loving relationship.

Forbes: Norovirus, Covid And RSV Are Surging This Winter. Here’s What To Know.
Recent CDC data indicates a surge in norovirus, Covid-19, and RSV across the U.S., deviating from typical winter patterns. Norovirus outbreaks have increased by nearly 31%, while RSV is causing more hospitalizations than flu or Covid-19, particularly affecting vulnerable populations.
The rise in these infections may be linked to decreased Covid-19 precautions and a larger older adult population. The new Covid-19 variant XEC is also contributing to increased cases. Health experts recommend preventive measures, including vaccinations and improved hygiene practices, especially during the holiday season.
