Did anyone get Visa post new government formation?

Just wanted to check if anyone in this forum has got VISA post new govt. formation i.e. 12th May.
The reason is to speculate if the new govt. has put on hold current application due to immigration cap drive.

Travelling in July

Agree with Kenfrapin. the best judgement will come from yourself as soon as you're in the UK. remotely checking job leads is not the best approach for job hunting. You need to feel what's happening here in the UK especially now that a lot of people are competing for the same job position (I guess)....
