Let the Visa Wars begin. What did silly Brexiteers expect? You will not get less migration but what you will certainly have less of is worker rights. Own it.
Boris Johnson will scrap a £30,000 minimum salary threshold for immigrants arriving after Brexit under his plans for an Australian-style points system.
The prime minister’s approach is in stark contrast to that of his predecessor, Theresa May, who prompted a cabinet revolt after insisting on the income rule despite concerns that it would deter skilled workers.
Migration Watch UK, the campaign group, has warned that the number of migrants coming to Britain could rise sharply under a points-based system.
The Migration Advisory Committee, an independent body, will publish a report next week on how the new points-based system would work and the government is then expected to publish its white paper in March. The aim is for the system to be introduced immediately at the end of the Brexit transition period in December.
