London: Universities and student groups on Tuesday urgently lobbied British Prime Minister <keyword id="19906889" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rishi-Sunak" source="keywords">Rishi Sunak</keyword> to safeguard the country's <keyword id="21659184" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="post-study-visa" source="keywords">post-study visa</keyword> offer, which has been dominated by Indians to gain work experience for around two years at the end of their university degree. Amid reports that Sunak is considering either restricting or ending the <keyword id="20616105" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Graduate-Route" source="keywords">Graduate Route</keyword> to curtail soaring migration statistics ahead of a general election, a group of nearly 30 university vice-chancellors and the <keyword id="21760521" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-indian-students-and-alumni-association" source="keywords">National Indian Students and Alumni Association</keyword> (NISAU) UK have issued detailed letters of appeal to 10 Downing Street. They list a series of factors in favour of keeping the Graduate visa scheme unchanged, including the benefits that international students bring to the UK economy in a competitive global higher education marketplace. "Modelling by consultancy London Economics shows that a single cohort has a net economic benefit of GBP 37 billion to the UK economy; as well as through the soft power that Britain's international graduates generate for the country over time, including through furthering ties of trade and diplomacy," reads the NISAU UK letter addressed to Sunak. "Indeed, 70 per cent of <keyword id="19971660" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-students" source="keywords">Indian students</keyword> have told us that the ability to gain meaningful work experience is a critical element in their decision to choose between competing international destinations, of which the UK is one... the Graduate Route allows the opportunity to gain this work experience for a temporary period. It is non-extendable and does not count towards permanent settlement. This means that neither students nor Graduate visa holders should be considered 'immigrants' in the context of the long-term picture of migration," it notes. Their appeal comes a week after the influential <keyword id="20609895" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Migration-Advisory-Committee" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Migration Advisory Committee" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="Migration Advisory Committee">Migration Advisory Committee</keyword> (MAC) advised the government to let the scheme continue as it found no abuse of this post-study work offer. It also confirmed that Indians topped its tally, accounting for 89,200 visas between 2021 and 2023, or 42 per cent of the overall grants, and were likely to be "most affected by any restriction on the Graduate Route". In their letter to Sunak, universities in the north of England — from Sunderland to Sheffield, Leeds to Lancaster, Liverpool to Teesside, Bradford to Huddersfield, and York to Newcastle — said they will all be harmed by the removal or reduction of this visa as it is an "intrinsic part of the educational offer that has made the UK so attractive to brilliant students from all around the world". "The Graduate Visa Route is regarded by students in key markets like India as an integral part of their educational experience. The MAC review made clear that the removal of this route would make the UK less attractive and thus would cause considerable financial detriment to universities around the country," reads their joint letter. "International student tuition fee income has long cross-subsidised underfunded research and has increasingly become critical to cross-subsidise the teaching of UK undergraduate students because of the frozen tuition fee. Universities cannot continue to absorb the costs of teaching UK undergraduates without some form of alternative funding source," they caution. On top of their visa fees, international students who find work and start businesses contribute billions of pounds in income tax, national insurance and VAT annually. The university chiefs point out that they are also usually net contributors to the National Health Service (NHS) through the NHS surcharge. The Russell Group of the UK's leading universities issued its appeal over the weekend, with CEO Tim Bradshaw warning that there has already been a 10 per cent decline in international applications for post-graduate courses starting this September in the wake of the clampdown on students being able to bring dependant family members. "A further restriction on international students would not only be unnecessary — as numbers are already falling — but also damaging, resulting in less spending in local communities, fewer opportunities for domestic students and less UK research," he noted in a letter to Sunak. Members of his own Cabinet are believed to be opposed to any changes to the Graduate scheme, but the British Prime Minister is having to balance pressures from the right of the governing Conservatives who are single-minded in their demands to curb all forms of legal as well as illegal migration levels ahead of an election later this year.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>I live in Newquay, one of the biggest seaside party destinations in the UK. </li><li>I started using drugs and drinking alcohol to excess before finally getting sober three years ago.</li></ul>In 2017, I moved to Newquay, Cornwall, to be with my then girlfriend, but I fell in love with its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-its-like-visit-cornwall-uk-g7-summit-biden-photos-2021-6">stunning coastlines</a> and quirky inhabitants.Newquay is one of the United Kingdom's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-10-best-party-beaches-around-the-world-2012-8">biggest seaside party destinations</a> — and it's home to the annual Boardmasters, a massive multiday music festival.Soon after moving, my relationship became tumultuous, and I desperately had to find somewhere new to live. I settled for the first place I could find: a one-bedroom apartment in the center of town, an area especially renowned for its nightlife.When I first moved in, the club scene was the perfect antidote to my heartbreak. My home was situated in the heart of the party!Every night I stepped outside, I was met with a lively, drunken scene that felt like entering a slightly dangerous theme park. I craved the raucousness to drown out my grief.I partied a lot for a few years — I was sniffing God knows what and relying on liquid courage to cover up my pain. I'd go out all night, then be able to walk right home in under five minutes.But the cracks started to show when my drinking and drug use became excessive. Once I started to become a regular at the emergency department of the local hospital because of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fentanyl-addiction-toolkit-from-test-strips-to-addiction-hotlines-2024-1">drug overdoses</a> and alcohol-related trauma, I decided I needed to change my lifestyle.I knew sobriety was necessary if I wanted to have a healthy life — but living in the center of a party town made <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dad-offered-money-get-sober-drugs-alcohol-2024-4">getting sober</a> even more of an uphill climb.<h2 id="8924822f-1e07-4ec1-a09e-b5245d6ef30e">My willpower grew stronger every time I said 'no'</h2><div type="image" title="People drinking at a party at night" height="1414" width="2120" msid="110441979" hostid="261" sizebytes="82980"></div>In my first few months of sobriety, I had every opportunity to give in to my previous addictions.Because I'm in the center of town and had been spending weekends getting wrecked with my friends for years, my house had become the go-to for pre-drinks and after-parties. I had people texting me for weeks, months, and even a year after I had been sober to ask if they could come around.The more I said "no," the easier it got. I grieved the loss of many relationships in my life — all the friends I had were drinking friends — and the loss of my old self.I started to take advantage of the seaside part of my seaside town. My flat was central to bars but I also lived a short walk from the beach.I began cold-water swimming after learning it could help <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cold-exposure-therapy-benefits-ice-water-plunge-mental-physical-health-2023-9">relieve anxiety and depression</a>. I found peace swimming in the mornings, one of the few times of the day the town is quiet.I did my best to avoid triggers and I started to exercise regularly. I found local support groups to aid my recovery, too.Still, most nights, I'd lay in bed every night listening to the chants of drunk people outside.<h2 id="f47e2836-ed2c-44a0-bb65-dfb0763c00a4">I tried going out sober, but now I just do my best to tune out my surroundings</h2><div type="image" title="aerial view of Newquay beach, Cornwall, England, UK." height="1413" width="2121" msid="110441981" hostid="261" sizebytes="471720"></div>I eventually got to the stage where I felt comfortable enough to go out some nights — I knew that I couldn't avoid it forever.At first, I found it easy to be sober around people who were drunk because no one seemed to care or notice I wasn't drinking. But I was desperate for peace as soon the clock hit 11 p.m.Even after I got home, I could still hear the thumping bass of the club nearby that sent vibrations through my walls. It would keep me up and threaten to ruin the routine I had tried so hard to maintain.I started wearing noise-reducing earplugs and fought back with a drug greater than the ones I'd glorified in the past: sleep. I don't really leave my house after 10 p.m. on weekends anymore.I'm three years sober now and I still get woken up by the occasional drunk screech outside — but my rowdy neighbors have taught me the importance of a fiercely disciplined routine.

In his first address as the Prime Minister, Sunak said: "UK is under economic distress... economic stability tops my agenda... my actions will speak louder." "I will give my all to help the people... hope to live up to the demands," he added.

Rishi Sunak officially becomes UK PM after meeting King

<ul><li>Indian-origin <keyword id="221875" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="rishi-sunak" source="Orion">Rishi Sunak</keyword> is set to take charge as the British Prime Minister.</li><li>The calls for the general election are getting louder as Rishi Sunak set to take charge as the British Prime Minister.</li><li>Some 62% of people said they wanted to see a general election be held in 2022.</li></ul>With Indian-origin Rishi Sunak set to take charge as the British Prime Minister, calls for the general election are getting louder with almost two-thirds of voters wanting it before the end of the year, a poll has found. Some 62 per cent of people said they wanted to see a general election be held in 2022, once Rishi Sunak had taken office as Prime Minister, polling company Ipsos has found. At the beginning of August, 51 per cent of people told Ipsos they would back a general election. The latest figures came from a survey of 1,000 adults between October 20 and 21. Sunak, who is expected to go to Buckingham Palace to meet King <keyword id="5197699" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="charles-iii" source="Orion">Charles III</keyword>, ruled out an election quickly after he was announced as the new Conservative leader. "Certainly, he said that there will be no early general election," Simon Hoare, a senior MP who supported Sunak, told reporters. In the UK, the next general election due to take place under the law is January 2025, but the Prime Minister has the power to decide a date any time before then. The proportion of calls by the UK public calling for a general election has increased since <keyword id="2420812" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="liz-truss" source="Orion">Liz Truss</keyword> announced her resignation on October 20, the Evening Standard reported. Also, opposition parties have ratcheted-up their election calls, claiming Truss's successor has "no mandate". Boris Johnson loyalist Nadine Dorries said it will be "impossible" to avoid a general election in the weeks ahead, as Rishi Sunak was named as Prime Minister-in-waiting. "I think everybody who I've spoken to, the public, have said we should be having a general election," Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner told local media. Another Ipsos poll, taken between October 19 and 20, said that Sunak will begin his premiership trailing opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer. It found that 36 per cent of people thought Sunak would make a good prime minister -- a higher total than any other Conservative but slightly behind Sir Keir's total of 46 per cent. Sunak will make a bad Prime Minister with 32 per cent of the people saying that about him while 28 per cent think Sir Keir would do a bad job. "In choosing Rishi Sunak as the next prime minister, the <keyword id="107792" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="conservative-party" source="Orion">Conservative Party</keyword> have picked a contender with the widest appeal, but the public are still uncertain whether he will do a good job in office," Keiran Pedley, director of political research at Ipsos, said. Around 54 per cent of Conservative voters thought Sunak would do a good job as Prime Minister, compared to 52 per cent who thought Johnson would do a good job if he was brought back, the Ipsos poll said.

New Prime Minister <keyword id="221875" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rishi-sunak" source="Orion">Rishi Sunak</keyword> is under growing pressure over reinstating <keyword id="5229561" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="braverman" source="Orion">Braverman</keyword> as home secretary after a former party chair claimed she had committed "multiple breaches" of the ministerial code, Sky News reported. He has so far resisted demands to launch an inquiry after she shared a sensitive document with a Tory backbencher from a personal email without permission, Sky News reported. Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have raised "national security" concerns over the breach, as well as called for a Cabinet Office probe. Labour will try to push ministers to share risk assessments of this and other alleged leaks, as well as the information given to Sunak before he reinstalled her at the Home Office, with a "humble address" motion in Parliament. Braverman has so far refused to appear before MPs to explain the circumstances surrounding what happened. Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman cannot keep running away from these questions. It is far too serious for that, and raises serious doubts about the prime minister's judgement. "People need to know they can trust the Home Secretary with highly sensitive information and our national security. Rishi Sunak's decision to reappoint Suella Braverman was deeply irresponsible. "Labour will use every parliamentary mechanism open to force government to come clean over her reappointment, to get answers and to require detailed documents to be released to the Intelligence &amp; Security Committee", Sky News reported. Braverman resigned from her post just over a week ago after using her personal email address to forward sensitive government documents, breaking the rules that ministers have to abide by.
