“The UK Home Office has updated its guidance so that some people who entered the United Kingdom illegally may be eligible to apply for British citizenship.”
The evidence shows the 2025 guidance change made citizenship harder, not easier, for people who entered the UK illegally. Official Home Office guidance says such applicants will normally be refused on good-character grounds. Although narrow exceptional cases may still exist, those do not show that the update created or expanded eligibility.
“More than 150 kebab takeout shops in Great Britain have been granted UK Home Office sponsor licences allowing them to hire workers directly from overseas through a new UK visa program.”
The claim overstates what the evidence shows. Official sources confirm that UK sponsor licences exist for the Skilled Worker route and that food businesses can use them, but the supplied primary evidence does not directly substantiate the reported figure of more than 150 kebab takeout shops. The description of this as a new visa program is also inaccurate, because the route is an established scheme rather than a newly created one.
