Britain’s new immigration plan was billed as a “points-based system” but it is not as flexible as that implies

workers in health and social care and 85% in hotels and hospitality would be ineligible for visas under the new system. The government hopes to encourage British people back into the labour market to meet the need. Priti Patel, the home secretary, argues that “we have over 8.45m people in theaged between 16 and 64 who are economically inactive”. But most of them are studying, retired, sick or looking after family. Only 1.9m say they want a job.

Britain’s farmers are concerned for next year’s harvest. Although the government announced that this year’s seasonal worker scheme will be expanded from 2,500 to 10,000 places, no commitment has been given for 2021. Picking soft fruits such as strawberries is tricky to automate. But the impact of the changes will spread beyond low-skilled, low-productivity sectors. Manufacturing bosses in the north and the Midlands, where skilled technicians often earn below the £25,600 threshold, worry that the new rules will make it easier for firms in the south-east, where technicians tend to earn over the threshold, to expand. That is hardly what a government committed to “levelling up” wants to see.

Bloody fool system thrown in to placate big business so they can carry on smuggling in low capital labour with degrees that aren't worth the paper they're printed on because they'll never be used in that capacity. The tax threshold system is the correct one, it guarantees benefit

Experts react to Google's Brexit-driven decision to move UK data to the US - Business InsiderGoogle's decision to shift control of UK user data to the US looks like a calculated political bet that Brexit will be a privacy disaster SAI 1+1=40 WTF? More a calculated bet that the UK will increasingly shift its data protection, transfer, hosting and processing regime towards the US as part of a trade deal and a move away from EU regs. Given that 80% of UK cloud data is hosted in Europe *that* would be the disaster. Already getting off Google... it’s gonna be painful... but how very dare they...
