The government could be about to make a major Brexit U-turn following advice that special immigration status could hold the key to plugging significant labour shortages across the construction industry.

According to advice from the Migration Advisory Committee , a variety of professions - including bricklaying, plastering and roofing, among others construction careers, should be added to the shortage list.

Described as a 'shortage occupation list', the move could see the minimum earnings threshold lowered. With the current threshold for “skilled worker” visas standing at £25,600, the proposals could see that earnings figure lowered to £20,480 a year.With the current threshold for “skilled worker” visas standing at £25,600, the proposals could see that earnings figure lowered to £20,480 a year.

Let’s just cancel the Brexit disaster all together

So why can't they do the same with nurses and careers?

Maybe they don’t want to comeback after you kicked them out

Lol

Make it easier for youngsters to learn the trade! Not all are academics, teach them in schools. My grandson would love it

Now every person in the dinghys will claim to be a builder ffs.

There are more teens that know how to cut a kilo of cocaine rather than mix cement. Teach them to be productive.... Then again, I know a George and Jared probably won't say no to a line or two

Oh

It was expected. Brexit was full of lies!

'Oh.' — James O'Brien (mrjamesob)

mrjamesob yousaid it, its coming..

The Tory Brexit fails again

Train kids up tons of em sitting about doing nowt .

That's not a Brexit U-Turn though, is it.?The plan was always to take in people we actually need.

Yay now we can continue to divide the country at the next general election by phrasing it as soft and hard Brexit again. Far right conservatives have done more to sow discord and disunity than the woke left ever did.

Don't tell Suella, Rishi and their pals; they'll have a fit....

😂😂😂

Not a u-turn, it’s deciding ourselves who we want and don’t want, not freedom of movement.!

Brexit unraveling before our eyes only the selective blind don’t see it

Ok.... BrexitDisaster

Free movement of builders!

I don't think Europeans will come back. How will we align regulation? Qualifications and building standards will be different in different countries. I fear this will lead to a deregulation of the construction industry.

🤣🤣

Construction industry ?building what? Not more houses for Airbnb and foreigners to hide money in?

James O'Brien was right. We will have lost our freedom of movement, but Europeans can come here freely

Major Brexit U-turn presumably outranks Captain Hindsight, but General Ballsup is ultimately responsible.

One way freedom of movement. Brits remain locked in behind BREXIT walls. Imprisoned.

Another brexit win

It’s like Brexit was never thought through

Weren't the eastern Europeans under cutting local tradesmen? 🤔

More brexshit shlt show

Get the Poles back in, hard working folk
