From Migration Watch:-

So far, Sir Keir Starmer has binned Tory plans to hike the salary thresholds for the spouses of migrants, claiming it might hurt the “economic wellbeing” of the UK. Really? How would higher salary requirements be harmful to the economy?

Earlier this year, the Tories raised the income threshold for bringing a foreign partner to the UK from £18,600 to £29,000 to cut down on legal migration. But now, Yvette Cooper, the new Home Secretary, has put the brakes on raising it further to £38,700 next year. Instead, she’s asked the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to take another look. Ms Cooper told MPs that the government needs to “balance respect for family life while also ensuring the economic wellbeing of the UK is maintained.”

Labour’s plan is to tie the points-based system to new skills and better job standards, while also overhauling the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) by adding more Home Office staff to make it more “strategicR21; in forecasting future trends. The risk is that this could turn the MAC into a puppet for those wanting overseas labour instead of investing in British workers.

The MAC must be independent to ensure its objectivity and reliability to provide evidence-based advice to the government. It must not become a self-serving tool for government, business and lobby groups.

The idea that immigration can fix labour ‘shortagesR17; is baseless. Immigrants are workers and consumers. They don’t just fill jobs; they create more demand for goods and services, which may lead to more job openings and growth in GDP. What immigration won’t do is increase productivity and GDP per head.

Labour’s plan to set up Skills England, an ‘expert body’ to manage national skills, strikes us as just more bureaucracy. Time will tell but we have little confidence that the scheme will work. There’s scant evidence that top-down approaches work by quickly identifying the specific and changing needs of different sectors. The skills needed vary widely, even within the same industry. A central, controlling body can seldom keep up. The risk is that, however well-meaning, any resulting mismatch of training programs and job market needs will lead to even greater reliance on cheaper migrant labour.

PP, labour are going to set fire to the streets

They don't understand. You can't label all the english as thick knuts at the same time they are going to get econ squeezed

Awful combo

I see Spanish/French style policing is getting planned for London protests . Can only assume the protestors are not calling, from the river to the sea then

They are getting all of this very very wrong .

[putinaire] 06/8/2024 16:37

Total oblivion into Thursday afternoon. Not even need the fear into the weekend

No I never expect government to be honest or use money wisely. But surely £168m I think it last was has to appear on some balance sheet somewhere. Surely it cant all just disappear on ministers energy bills etc. And whats the bloody point of taking money off them to force them to spend it. Illogical in my bit o grey stuff.

Shocking. Have to watch Al jazeera news these days to really see what's going on in the UK and world

It seems practically censored here

[putinaire] 06/8/2024 16:21

It's not even a breather lookng at volume. Its a sell stall at prices for a slightly better rerun of recent days

Forecast

Death and deatruction everywhere this week . From SPs to war

For now though, a lot of big companies sitting on index cap precipice. Look at them work those prices. NVDA and some big eastern ones, need something special on Monday to stop a global equity rout. And i think it would be broad if the pet ones take a hit.
