What nobody is talking about is the fact that they’ve specifically chosen £38,000 as the wage cut-off because that’ll exclude nurses who make a maximum of £34,500.
This is the Tories attempt to both reduce immigration and finally kill the NHS as they physically can’t get the people in and thousands of currently working nurses get sent back home.
The second human rights get repealed I am out of this fucking shithole of an island. I don’t care if I have to go to dover and nab a dinghy from some recently arrived migrants and claim political refugee status in Spain.
Healthcare roles are exempt.
The tories are shit enough, we don’t have to make stuff up. I’m sure they’re up to other shenanigans re the NHS but this isn’t it.
Imo what their game now is all about, is filling their pockets & causing as much damage as possible on the way out to make life difficult for thr next government.
Fucking idiots.
These Tories are fucking monsters.
This makes me angry.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New laws designed to slash the number of migrants by 300,000 a year risk splitting up families already living in the UK.
Under the plans unveiled on Monday those wishing to bring their spouse to the UK will now have to earn £38,700, a significant increase on the current figure of £18,600, and what has been described as a tax on love.
Former Tory minister Gavin Barwell said it was “both morally wrong and unconservative to say that only the wealthiest can fall in love, marry someone and then bring them to the UK”.
Madeleine Sumption, the director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, said the changes would make the UK an outlier among western nations.
Josephine Whitaker-Yilmaz, from migrant rights organisation Praxis, said she was concerned for families who feel “forced to make horrible decisions” due to the changes.
Official figures from April show the median gross annual earnings for full-time employees in the UK was £34,963.
