What will really happen
Migration won’t go down and NHS staffing levels will get lower with more open vacancies.
Yep, and social care.
British people want low paid work and no training opportunities?
FTFY: The Tories want British people in low paid work and no training opportunities.
I think the idea is to give employers no choice but to pay more to get workers. The fruit picking example shows that doesn’t happen, you just get fruit rotting in the fields. The business can only supports raising wages so high before there is no business. Not like more expensive fruit is an option as they have to compete with the world.
They are absolutely 100% not interested in making employers pay more. They’re interested in demonising immigrants and now demonising British workers who “don’t want to work”.
They can’t get fruit picked because an unemployed person in Hull cannot afford to make themselves homeless in order to earn minimum wage for three months on a seasonal job. But the government will tell you it’s because they’re lazy because setting us all at each other’s throats stops people noticing how much is being stolen from them.
OK, to give the impression of forcing wages up. Lots of their dimmer voters believe it.
British people getting mad about migration to other countries is hilarious given the history of the British Empire.
Like maybe British people are just plain racist.
At least 52% are.
Isn’t that old trope a bit boring by now?
Not while it’s still true.
Everyone is a little bit racist… Even you

This is the best summary I could come up with:
All applicants need to get the initial 50 points from having a job offer above a minimum skill level and speaking English.
The standard fee for a skilled visa is usually between £719 and £1,500 and applicants also have to pay a £624 healthcare surcharge for each year of their stay.
These jobs have a lower salary threshold, making it easier for applicants to gain the required number of points to get a visa.
Official immigration data gathering was disrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic and there have been considerable changes to the way the figures are collected.
Students on postgraduate courses could also apply for visas for qualifying dependents: a husband, wife, civil or unmarried partner and any children under 18 years old.
But from January 2024, the government will remove the right for international students to bring dependents unless they are on postgraduate courses designated as research programmes.
