Between 2014 and 2020, around 20,000 Syrians were resettled in the UK. The UK government established several schemes to help Syrian refugees, including:
Vulnerable Person Resettlement Scheme (VPRS): This scheme was established in 2014 after public pressure and a campaign led by the Refugee Council. The UK reached its target of resettling 20,000 refugees by February 2021.
Vulnerable Children's Resettlement (VCRS) scheme: This scheme resettled 1,838 people by February 2021.
Gateway: This resettlement program, run in partnership with UNHCR, aims to resettle 750 refugees per year.
The number of Syrian nationals living in the UK has increased over time:
2011: The UK census recorded 8,526 people born in Syria.
2014: There were around 12,000 Syrian nationals in the UK.
2019: The number of Syrian nationals in the UK peaked at 47,000.
2021: There were approximately 28,000 Syrian nationals in the UK.

SOFIA, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Bulgarian lawmakers on Monday voted in Kiril Petkov, a Harvard-educated entrepreneur, as prime minister and approved the lineup of his broad coalition government, ending months of political deadlock in the European Union's poorest member state.
Petkov, 41, whose new centrist faction We Continue The Change (PP) won Bulgaria's third national election this year in November, secured a clear majority of 134 votes in the 240-member parliament to take over the reins of the Balkan country.
He will lead an unprecedented ruling coalition with the leftist Socialists, anti-establishment ITN party and the centre-right Democratic Bulgaria, united under the motto "zero tolerance to corruption", for a four-year term.

@Villain1874 An unprecedented expansion and refurbishment programme will create more than 4,000 new prison places across the country, the Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab announced today (18 February 2022).
These new places are part of the government’s £4 billion investment to create 20,000 modern and innovative prison places, ensuring the right conditions are in place to truly rehabilitate prisoners. This will give prisoners the education, skills and addiction support they need to live crime-free lives on release, helping to cut crime and protect the public.
The 4,000 places announced today will be created across 16 prisons through the building of new wings and refurbishing jails. They will create thousands of jobs for local communities, boosting economies.
Subject to planning permission, 8 prisons will receive new houseblocks while HMP High Down in Surrey will get a brand-new workshop. The innovative designs will mean easier access to supporting facilities such as healthcare, kitchens and staff offices which will help to protect frontline staff and clamp down on crime behind bars.
New workshops and classrooms will also see offenders getting vital work and training so they are able to find employment on release.
Seven other prisons will also receive comprehensive refurbishments part of a wider £150 million investment in the estate to help bring all jails into the 21st century.
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, said:
Our unprecedented prison-building programme is the largest in more than a century and will deliver an additional 20,000 prison places by the mid-2020s.
We are improving our existing prison estate, putting more offenders behind bars, training them for release and protecting the public.
Today’s news is the latest step in the government’s commitment to create 20,000 modern and innovative prison places by the mid-2020s.
Construction at 2 new prisons, which are part of the Deputy Prime Minister’s commitment to build 6 modern jails, has already created more than 500 jobs and over 70 apprenticeships When the two prisons open, they are expected to offer over a thousand permanent jobs – providing a significant boost to the local economy. Thousands of jobs will also be created at the 16 sites planned for expansion through the building process and the additional prison officer roles required.
