How to apply for immigration bail Every year, thousands of people are held in immigration detention while the Home Office decides their case or arranges their removal. Almost 23,000 people entered immigration detention last year, which was 11% more than the previous year. Bail is the most common way of leaving immigration detention. Unlike with criminal sentences, there is no fixed time limit on immigration deten…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Suitability refusals: alleged deception, false information and innocent mistakes Making a mistake on an immigration application form can be disastrous. If the mistake is interpreted by officials as an attempt to mislead or deceive, the application may be refused and can also lead to a ten-year ban on re-entry to the UK. https://www.lawfirmuk.net/post_e/suitability-refusals-alleged-deception-false-information-and-in…

Home Office approach to evidence of domestic abuse Domestic abuse is a serious infringement of someone’s rights. While most often perpetrated against women, it can affect people from any background and part of society.

Good character and criminal convictions in British citizenship With a few exceptions as set out at the end of this post, anybody over the age of ten who applies for registration or naturalisation as a British citizen needs to meet the so-called ‘good character requirement’.

Government Scraps 'Degree by Default' Culture: What the New Youth Apprenticeship Deal Means for Employers and Young People The government unveiled a major overhaul of post-18 education and skills policy on 22 June 2026, announcing what it calls a "new deal for young people" — a package of reforms designed to end the assumption that university is the only viable path to success. What Has the Government Announced? h…
Compliance flashes red for universities Institutions with a student sponsor licence have always had to meet a high compliance threshold. Providers can obtain a probationary sponsor licence, and maintain their student sponsor licence, only by passing a Basic Compliance Assessment every 12 months. Without doing so, a university cannot assign confirmations of acceptance for studies (CAS), which are required to sponso…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @UKImmigrate. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
