Priority Spouse Visa (Wife)

Online App Submitted: 18/12/2019
Supporting Docs Submitted: 27/12/2019
Biometrics Enrolled: 31/12/2019
SMS App Forwarded UKVI: 31/12/2019
Email Received from UKVI for consideration by ECO:

12 Calendar Days Since Biometrics
7 Working Days Since Biometrics

It looks like a lot of priority applications were submitted in November and December. This is really worrying because some have not yet recieved a decision. I think decisions are likely to go over the 30 working day period because of this.
