Renew passport, plus 12 month extension of permission to stay.
In this case... The Passport Expiry date (April 2026) is 'after' the his extension of Stay expiry (Oct 2025) So, the question seems to be in two parts: a) IF he gets a new extension of stay (in his current passport that will expire in April 2026), when he gets a new Passport before then... can he just go to immigration and get a new extension of stay in the new passport ? Of course - the simplest answer is just to plan ahead and get his new Passport and ensure its arrival before is current extension of stay is up (Oct 2025), and then get his new extension of stay in his new passport. It seems he's just covering basis and looking at two possible options. -

BBC Looks to Regain Trust of Reform Voters Amid Growing Political Divide
BBC Looks to Regain Trust of Reform Voters Amid Growing Political Divide The BBC is reportedly taking steps to win back viewers who support the Reform Party, as concern grows within the corporation that these audiences feel increasingly underrepresented. Senior executives, including director-general Tim Davie and chairman Samir Shah, have begun exploring potential changes to the broadcaster’s news and drama output in an effort to rebuild trust among right-leaning viewers. A key meeting of the BBC’s editorial guidelines and standards committee took place in March, where Deborah Turness, CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, gave a presentation addressing what she termed “low-trust issues” with Reform voters. The committee, which includes Sir Robbie Gibb, a former GB News adviser, discussed not only how news coverage might shift but also the possible rethinking of drama and entertainment content to reflect a broader range of political views and life experiences. The minutes of that meeting, first revealed by Byline Times, noted: “The CEO, News and Current Affairs provided the Committee with a presentation on plans to address low-trust issues with Reform voters. The Committee discussed the presentation. Committee members recognised the importance of local BBC teams in the plan, given their closeness to audiences. Directors discussed how story selection and other types of output, such as drama, also had a role to play.” Sources inside the BBC say the organisation is aiming to better represent all communities and viewpoints, including those typically aligned with Reform. This could include increased coverage of politically sensitive topics like immigration, an area believed to resonate strongly with Reform supporters. While the BBC’s Royal Charter commits the broadcaster to impartiality and the representation of all UK communities, recent data shows a stark disparity in trust between political groups. A YouGov poll found that only 13 percent of Reform voters said they trusted the BBC, compared to an average of 42 percent across all parties. In contrast, more than half of Reform supporters—55 percent—said they trusted GB News, where Nigel Farage is a prominent presenter. Farage has long been critical of the BBC, labelling it “institutionally biased” and “out-of-touch.” Despite his ongoing criticism, Farage remains a familiar face on the network. He recently marked his 38th appearance on Question Time, making him the most frequent living guest on the show. Only the late Charles Kennedy, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, appeared more times. The BBC’s efforts come at a time of significant political flux. The Reform Party has seen a dramatic rise in support, even overtaking Labour and the Conservatives in some recent polls. This rise is pressuring mainstream institutions to re-evaluate how they engage with this growing constituency. A BBC spokesperson affirmed the broadcaster’s duty to maintain impartiality and reflect the full spectrum of political opinion: “Our Royal Charter requires us to reflect and represent all the communities of the UK, and our Editorial Guidelines require that we must take account of the different political parties with electoral support across the UK to achieve due impartiality.” The committee is expected to follow up on its progress in future meetings, as the BBC weighs how best to engage with a segment of the population that has grown increasingly disenchanted with traditional media. Whether these moves will succeed in closing the trust gap remains to be seen, but they mark a significant shift in how the BBC is approaching the rapidly evolving political landscape in the UK.

Report Diners Stop Customer Trying to Skip VAT at Bangkok Ramen Restaurant
Rubbish. Every restaurant has to include 7% VAT. Only an idiot doesn't know that. It was 21 baht!! This one was Ozawa Ramen at PTT Suksawat. Their menu clearly states on every single page that 7% VAT will be applied. If they hide it or don't mention it then fair enough, but it is printed there very clearly. Also should be noted that they DO NOT charge 10% or any service charge. So they are better than most restaurants. "arguing that VAT should not apply in the same manner as it does at a 7-Eleven store, where she claimed VAT is handled differently." The customer is an idiot and has no idea how business works. -

Extension based on retirement
Well, he did say 'thanks'. The extra part though, recalls one Col. Jessup. "I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way." -
