Number of academic signatures (4000 in 4 days), gathered in peak holiday season asking simply for biometric deferrals shows level of determination, knowledge of UKVI and sheer bewilderment in sector. Why it is taking this and so so so so so smany forms will be a matter for history and The Hague.

The IPC has issued an alert for the "Worst-case scenario of Famine unfolding in the Gaza Strip."
