Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

What have they done in those countries?

Sorry, I meant to embed the tweet rather than just the image:

We have of course done none of these things, even though we obviously could (and we have even more control, as we have our own currency and has Rish! likes to mention, we're no longer hamstrung by any constraints from the evil EU)

Wouldn't that be illegal?

 

[Jack Regan]

Wouldn't that be illegal?

It'd be fucking desperate.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Wouldn't that be illegal?

Since when has legality bothered the Tories???

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Like that fucking dweeb is down with the kids. He was born 68.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If that is their best line of attack they are really truly royally screwed. Good.

He's got his work cut out with the latest faction in his Party, the New Conservative Group. Along with the Democratic Conservative Group, the European Research Group, the Peoples front of Judea, the Conservative Growth Group and the Northern Research Group he may as well chuck in the towel now if he thinks he can keep them all happy.

This new faction of surprisingly familiar figures think that limiting Migration when there are 1.25m vacancies in the jobs market and limiting foreign students numbers when it is that cohort who are supporting the further education of UK based students is somehow a good idea. Lets hope that the government in charge at the time have enough common sense to ensure that there are enough employees in the care sector when the likes of Gullis and Anderson need their arses wiping.

Their 12 point 'plan':

1) Close the temporary schemes that grant eligibility for worker visas to ‘care workers’ and ‘senior care workers’. This policy will reduce visas granted by 117,000 between those workers and their dependants, leading to a reduction in ‘long-term inward migration’ of 82,000.

2) Raise the main skilled work visa salary threshold to £38,000 per annum. This could reduce LTIM [long-term immigration] by 54,000 migrants per year.

3) Extend the closure of the student dependent route, which allows full access to the job market and is not subject to skill or salary thresholds, to students enrolled on one-year research master’s degrees. Combined with the government’s existing proposal, this could lead to a reduction in LTIM of around 75,000.

4) Close the graduate route to students, so as to stop students staying in the UK after graduating for up to two years without a job offer. This should lead to a reduction of around 50,000 in LTIM per year.

5) Reserve university study visas for the brightest international students by excluding the poorest performing universities from eligibility criteria. This could lead to a reduction of 49,000 from LTIM.

6) Continue to monitor the reduction in visa applications under the humanitarian schemes and introduce caps on future humanitarian schemes should the predicted 168,000 reductions not be realised.

7) Rapidly pass and implement the provisions of the illegal migration bill, leading to a reduction of at least 35,000 from LTIM.

8) Cap the number of refugees legally accepted for resettlement in the UK at 20,000.

9) Raise the minimum combined income threshold to £26,200 for sponsoring a spouse and raise the minimum language requirement to B1 (intermediate level). This should lead to an estimated 20,000 reduction in LTIM.

10) Make the migration advisory committee report on the effect of migration on housing and public services, not just the jobs market, by treating future demand on a par with labour requirements in all studies.

11) Cap the amount of social housing that councils can give to non-UK nationals at five percent until the number of British families waiting for housing clears.

12) Raise the immigration health surcharge to £2,700 per person, per year.

New darling of the Conservative ranks - MP Miriam Cates has stated that all you need to do is increase the wages of care workers and the economically inactive (the sick and those who have voluntarily withdrawn from the labour market) will flock into the care sector. If they don't then those on smaller incomes elsewhere will move there, like they have with regards to the HGV driver shortage, to plug the gaps. The only problem there is that its inflationary (and the government is trying to reduce inflation) and you'll create a hole elsewhere in the jobs market that will need filling.

Why do Conservative MPs need to keep forming all these groups? They are like a bunch of attention seeking children.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hey kids, join the really cool gang.

 

[Kenny]

Who is the one dressing up as both Boris and Fabricant for a fancy dress party?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks a bit like a younger David Gower.
