Scheme intended to verify someone’s right to work in the UK will be optional, government admitted in 13th U-turn since taking power

I wouldn’t normally post Times articles but they seem to be the first to run this bit of rare good news.

    I’d rather they u-turned shitty ideas than waffle-stomp them through.
    How the fuck the OSA seemed to just drift through is astounding

      Because unfortunately, all our politicians want it, and the public wants it too.

      Reddit and Lemmy are very much in the minority on OSA.

      Which is a shame, because I find the OSA to be stupid and unworkable.
