Dover ferry queues: Extra overnight English Channel crossings laid on to clear backlog
Valve reveal schedule of 2023 Steam sales and game fests and my backlog is scared
My backlog is practically overflowing at this point, hence my New Year’s resolution to avoid buying a game until I’d actually play it. But, every now and then, an especially deep discount will catch my eye, my bad impulses wake up, and I spend a few quid on something I won’t touch for six months (seriously, Abzu has been floating on my hard drive for years.) My New Year’s resolution won’t hold out for much longer, as Valve have announced their schedule for all of 2023’s Steam Fests and sales events.

Thousands of small boat migrants will get asylum applications approved without interviews in bid to clear huge backlog
THOUSANDS of migrants will get asylum without interviews in a bid to clear the huge backlog.
Arrivals from nations with high approval rates such as Afghanistan and Syria will see applications sped up.

PM Rishi Sunak has vowed to clear 100,000 cases this year.
Under new two-tier plans, around 12,000 people will only have to fill in forms to apply to stay.
If they pass basic terror and crime checks and have a genuine reason, they will succeed.
They include migrants from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Syria, Yemen and Libya who arrived before last June.
The PM will also double the number of caseworkers to 2,500, and they will be required to get through at least four decisions a week.
It came as angry MPs yesterday demanded long-awaited new laws to stop the small boats.
Andrew Selous slammed block-booking of hotels for migrants leading to weddings and family events being cancelled in South West Beds.
Theo Clarke called on the PM to reconsider putting 500 single male asylum-seekers in Beaconside, Stafford, following “a huge amount of objections”.
Mr Sunak said he and the Home Secretary “are working intensely and as quickly as possible” to bring the law forward.
His spokesman denied there was a hold-up but stressed ministers had to “get it right”.
