Politics latest: Government changes immigration rule - as new migration data set to be published

The quarterly and annual immigration stats are due to be published this morning. Ahead of those dropping, the government is announcing a change to immigration rules to block employers who commit "serious offences" from hiring overseas workers.
The UK government has announced changes to its immigration rules, aiming to reduce net migration, as new migration data is set to be published. These changes include increasing the minimum salary threshold for skilled workers from £26,200 to £38,700, restricting care workers from bringing family members, and scrapping the shortage occupation list which allowed lower wages for certain roles. This comes in response to the latest figures expected to show a significant increase in net migration, with estimates suggesting it could be around 700,000 for the year ending December 2022. The government's move is part of a broader strategy to manage immigration levels, which have been a contentious issue, especially with the upcoming local elections where immigration is likely to be a key topic. Additionally, there's internal debate within the Conservative Party about the effectiveness and implications of these policies, with some MPs expressing concerns over potential negative impacts on sectors like health and social care.
