A-level language equivalent is at least B2, if not C1, depending how you operationalise it.
Many native speakers won’t pass a C1 level in their own language as those tests do not reflect everyday conversations at work or socially.
For example, I likely won’t past C1 in my native Romanian, especially after living in the UK for a long time. Similarly, many of my British friends don’t have A level English.
If we want to support integration, what is needed is investment in ESOL locally, especially on vocational ESOL in the workplace. Because there is limited or no use to knowing all types of conditional sentences if you don’t know the vocabulary needed in your trade or job.

Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. Nathan Gill. A politician of any kind who takes bribes from Russia, but especially a friend and colleague of the man we keep being told will be next PM, should be as well known to this generation as Philby was to mine. Thanks to a media blackout to help Nige Nathan can walk down any street in the land unrecognised and unbothered by journalists. What weird times we live in

We're delighted at the @WelshGovernment's decision to introduce lung screening targeted at those most at risk. This programme will be key to detecting cancer earlier and improving lung cancer outcomes in Wales.
We're launching a national lung cancer screening programme to turn the tide on lung cancer in Wales.
📋The first people will be invited in 2027
🏥Targeting those aged 55–74 most at risk
🩺 Using low-dose CT scans to catch cancer early

Blackpool's system will LOSE MONEY under the proposed redistribution of the £2.2bn
NHS England says Lancashire and South Cumbria is receiving £118m of the £2.2bn deficit funding - the 4th largest
NHSE's sums say the patch is £136m OVER funded- the proposal is to phase this out!

This thread is a really good illustration of the need for domain specific knowledge - being handy with data is helpful but insufficient.
NEW: Is the NHS still good value for money?
Billions of pounds are being ploughed into Britain’s health service — with little noticeable improvement in health since 2019.
Critics say the NHS has become bloated and inefficient. Is it?

My 81 yr old mum w/ dementia just received a threatening letter from law firm DWF on behalf of @marksandspencer alleging trespass. Anyone who speaks to my mum would know she has dementia. What the hell????!!!
Absolutely agree - this is incredibly irresponsible. @RandoxHealth I'd like to meet with you on behalf of @CR_UK
Really @RandoxHealth?
Those men look to be in their 20s and 30s!
This is really irresponsible
