The Guardian reports Sajid Javid has already begun dismantling Theresa May's very restrictive immigration policies, confident in the knowledge that both Hunt and BoJo are laid back about immigration.

The first green bottle off the wall is May's £30K minimum earnings requirement for a 5 year skilled work visa.

Worth noting these details:

THE identity of Britain’s new Prime Minister will be declared on Tuesday July 23, The Sun can reveal.

Postal voting in the Tory leadership among its 160,000 members will close at the end of Monday July 22, with counting due to take place overnight.

The contest’s winner - Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt - are expected to then see the Queen and enter Downing Street the following day, Wednesday July 24.

The Commons must authorise its summer recess dates in a vote tonight.

They have been proposed by the Government to begin when the house rises on the afternoon of Thursday July 25.

But Labour and Tory arch-Remainers may try to force an immediate no confidence vote in the new PM the day they take office, if the winner is Boris.

The new PM is expected to have a working majority of just three with the DUP’s support as the Tories are on course to lose the upcoming Brecon and Radnorshire by-election.

It is likely to be held by the end of July, sparked by its former Tory MP Chris Davies’ conviction for expenses fraud.

Postal ballots are being dispatched to all party members between July 6 and 8.

END - this is a collection of sentences that I've lifted from Tom ND. Ballots were going to be sent out by July 4, so there's some slippage there.

Whoever wins the Tory leadership contest and takes the UK out of the European Union will be responsible for damaging the NHS, the head of the British Medical Association (BMA) has warned.

Dr Chaand Nagpaul told i that a no deal Brexit would be disastrous for the health service, leading to potentially thousands of EU doctors leaving the country. Even if either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt secures a new deal with Brussels, which is supported by Parliament, European health staff will still consider walking away among other risks to the NHS, he said.

Asked whether it matters who becomes Prime Minister next month, Dr Nagpaul said: “I think the important thing is to focus on what this is going to mean in terms of the impact of the NHS and admittedly that will depend on whether we leave with a deal or not. Although there’s still the option of not leaving at all, but nevertheless.
“The most immediate issue for us, and what will affect the NHS, is that we have about 12,000 Europeans who work here. We know from our own figures that 1 in 3 intend to leave if we leave the EU without a deal – and that’s because they want to feel stable and secure and they already feel uncertain about their future.
NHS staff said they are being put under so much strain that it is affecting their physical and mental health.

“In an NHS where we have 10,000 doctoral vacancies and where the impact on services that is already being felt by the profession and patients, we can’t afford to lose a single doctor let alone several thousand.”

Dr Nagpaul said that a no deal Brexit would effectively end the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, which means that doctors from the EU can come here to work immediately.

“So not only might we lose the doctors who are here, but the doctors that would be coming here will dwindle in number because there would be new barriers – from examinations to other restrictions for them to enter the UK to work. That would be the worst situation.
Biggest impact

“On top of that, other effects on the NHS, such as the regulations of medicines, the movement of specialist drugs like radioisotopes, there will be impact to us in a lot of those areas too. Reciprocal healthcare which we take for granted, that will also cost us considerably if UK residents living in the EU are no longer covered and in terms of those travelling to the EU.

“Even in a Brexit deal, if there is one, we run some of those risks because the deal is only going to be applicable in a couple of years and the uncertainty for EU doctors is there. We’re still very worried [in that scenario] EU doctors will leave the UK and there will be less incentive for anyone to come and work here.”

"many thousands that may leave the NHS...."???? Ummm back that up.

re my background - I think you already know that!!

The main reason are NHS is creaking is because we let TOOOOO many immigrants in and many of them come here because its FREE and they can leach off the gov't!!!

Some people dont move abroad BECAUSE we have a free health service!!

Admiral Sir Nicholas John Streynsham Hunt GCB LVO DL (7 November 1930 – 25 October 2013) was a senior Royal Navy officer. He was Commander-in-Chief Fleet from 1985 to 1987

cfc1 do those whom you claim to have served with in UKSF offer to work as hospital doctors or nurses, to replace the many thousands who may leave the NHS in the event of a no deal Brexit?

[leedskier] 24/6/2019 10:58

You would rather vote for a Q4 general election?

I have no idea of the age of those who post here. I do know however that more than 1.5 million of the population in 2016, have since died. Death and taxes remain the two certainties.

Brexit may be like global warming: the worst effects may not occur until after those currently ignoring the risks, have died.

From your article leeds.



so According to this article the majority who voted for Brexit are radicals, extreme etc etc they don’t get it, need managing, maybe even retraining so that a nice soft centreground BRINO can be secured. This isn’t making me want to vote Hunt.

tfergi...welcome to the pampered life of an MP...how easily we forget their over expensed life over and above their incredibly generous salaries, goosed further by their scandalous malfeasance to readily and grubily greedily grab more...;)

PS Made Public Facts on Record.

I find it unbelievable that they will recess straight after a 2 month PM race.Brexit brushed to the side and they will a little over 2 months to act on it when they return !!

[polar fox] 24/6/2019 06:30

Parliament is currently scheduled to recess on July 25, maxk.

Q. Who knows what the overall position will be then, let alone October 31?

A. Absolutely nobody.
