If it reduces immigration like the article implies then it's a good thing.

What is universal credit - and what's the problem? - BBC News
"However, a quarter of all claimants have had to wait more than six weeks to receive their first payment of universal credit because of errors and problems evidencing claims."

Re: Home Office visa delays 'inhumane'
I think the article is a bit "bitty" and seems to refer mainly to ILR applicants, particularly as it's referring to "economic migrants", which, certainly those of us here, maybe 100%, are spouse visa applicants & sponsors, certainly not for economic reasons.
However, it does appear that some heat is really starting to be generated now and the HO is under an ever-brightening spot light.
My Wife's application was very straight-forward, and we're at 76 days now. Waiting for a meeting with the local MP to escalate, fingers crossed.

76 days. I wish. My partner and I have been waiting for nearly 15 months for our Canadian spouse visa. 76 days would be a blessing for us.

Many Spouse Visa applicants for Australia now wait 12- 15 MONTHS for theirvisas. As you say, 76 days is a luxury.

Hearing about how many days have been waiting are really shocking.
