Will the Tories' latest plans to cut legal migration work?
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Home Secretary James Cleverly is having a busy third week in his new job, just as his approval ratings among Tory supporters collapse, according to polling by ConservativeHome.
He's announced new rules intended to bring down legal migration to the UK, including raising the salary needed to qualify for a skilled worker visa to £38,700, and overseas care workers will no longer be allowed to bring their partners and children. British people will also no longer be able to bring over their foreign-born spouses unless they earn £38,700.
On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, our political editor Beth Rigby and business correspondent Paul Kelso unpick the latest migration announcements.
Plus, Nadra Ahmed, executive co-chairman of the National Care Association, joins Niall to discuss the potential impact on the care sector.
