// 英國首相施紀賢(Keir Starmer)領導的工黨政府於2025年5月12日發表移民政策白皮書《Restoring Control over the Immigration System》,引發廣泛討論與不少港人社群的焦慮。白皮書主旨在於重建對移民制度的掌控,尤其強調提高英文語言門檻、改革《英國生活知識測試》(Life in the UK Test)、修改永居與入籍的規範,並重申「所有移民途徑需可持續並符合英國社會承受能力」。這份政策文件本質上是回應英國國內對淨移民數字高企的長期不滿與選民壓力,其所描繪的政策方向意味着英國將進一步收緊移民流入。但在此背景下,雖然白皮書未明言變動BNO或BNO Visa的條款,卻以語境方式將其置於潛在審視之列,這一點值得港人關注與理性面對。//

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last five trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had added more than a dozen points or 0.4 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just above the 3,060-point plateau and it's likely to see a narrow trading range on Monday.
