Rishi Sunak says "the level of migration is too high"
Twitter/X ^ | Dec 4 | UK Prime Minister

@10DowningStreet

The level of net migration is too high.

Today we’re announcing a new plan to reduce immigration and curb the abuse of our visa system.

Here is what we're doing 🧵

Firstly, we’re reforming the Health and Social Care Visa to prevent overseas care workers from bringing dependants to the UK.

And we’re requiring social care firms in England to be CQC registered to sponsor visas, putting an end to abuse of the system.

We’re increasing the minimum earnings threshold for skilled workers by 48% to £38,700, encouraging businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce.

We’re scrapping the 20% going rate salary discount, meaning the immigration system cannot undercut British workers.

We are also ensuring that people only bring dependants to the UK that they can support financially by raising the minimum income requirement for family visas.

We’ve already stopped overseas students from bringing family members to the UK from 2024.

And we’re increasing the fees migrants have to pay to use the NHS.

Together, we will deliver the biggest reduction in net migration on record.

FIRST THING he can do, if he’s serious, is to bring back Braverman, who was the FIRST high level UK type with some MAGA Blood since Thatcher.

Only about 35 years too late.

I think it's too late to "take out the garbage" and civilization is doomed, but I Pray to God I'm wrong.

Rishi is pretty shameless politician. Only the other day he was saying to an investment conference “come to the UK, bring your families”! Now he says this!

He’ll be gone sooner or later
