on tuesday, the asylum seekers were moved off the bibby stockholm, moored in portland, dorset. ridiculous, one home office source said. but only around 15% of migrants are asylum seekers. today's figures count everyone coming into the uk, and subtract everyone leaving, to produce a headline number for net migration. in 2023, 685,000 more people came in than left. less than 2022, but not much less. we've got people coming on work visas in highly paid jobs all the way down to the care sector. you've got people coming in as family members of british citizens and as asylum seekers and refugees. and so, actually the impacts of migration often depend more on the composition, who is coming, than the simple number of how many people are coming. the conservatives have restricted foreign students and care workers from bringing in family members, and increased the amount you need to come to britain. last night the new party leader, kemi badenoch, said it would push down today's net migration number. this is because of the changes we made in the last year of the conservative government. th

a decision to start going to the gym during lockdown changed the life of matt smyth from poole in dorset me the confidence to be able to be who i am. it gives me a reason to push myself beyond what i believe is humanly possible. it's therapy. i generally refer to the gym as therapy. matt smyth was born without a knee or hip sockets. he spent much of his life battling with its physical and mental health. i remember waking up after trying to hang myself and thinking, i need to do something with my life. the cycle cannot continue. i then got in a gym. three months later, i placed third in the country for the strongest man, that was three and a half years ago. from then on, that was it. that was my life's trajectory. it has been up and up ever since. can he do the 155? at the world strongest disabled man competition, the pain of the past to get there make the satisfaction success all the more sweet. when i realised i'd won the world championship, i got the final stone over, the release came over for me. i broke down in tears so hard. everyone celebrating, it was... it was just... yes. sorry.
