    Atkins is thick as mince. It's cheaper for Labour to process people as quickly as possible and return the ones that aren't eligible than it is to just put them up in hotels and use them as political punchbag. Ignoring the situation, pretending it doesn't exist, or wishing it away doesn't work. So just get it dealt with as cost effectively and efficiently as possible.

    • @CmdrTobs
      @CmdrTobs 8 днів тому

      You are in a silo if you think Hotel's are being filled up with migrants just to p*** people off. You actually think processing isn't happening?!! How do you process someone that has 'lost' all identification who is from country that we have limited diplomatic contact? This shouldn't be political.
      It can take 3 months to renew the passport of lifelong UK citizens who have birth certificates, school footprints, council services footprints etc... Fast processing for randoms arriving on boats is basically impossible.
      Look at the thumbs up for your disingenuous bad take, we are doomed.

    This "no dependent" rule was not only for students but for researchers (who often also teach). Plus, of course, there's a humungous yearly health tax for each member of the family on top of the costs of visas. So top-notch talent that universities would love to attract so as to improve their research departments - aren't seen as attractive anymore!

      Actually the Tories were processing asylum seekers claims for most of their time in government but for some reason they told the Home Office to stop processing claims in 2022 (I think) and they also threw out returns agreement with the EU into the bin, which basically means the small boat crossing the channel was of their own making.

And they still do not understand' we need hope, we need the UK to have a future. For us all . we want honest MP'S and not governments paid for from outside interests, right now I can have no in faith in any party we have, because they build themselves on lie's and spine and sell them self's to the highest bidder. lastly please BBC can we Victoria Drebyshire every Sunday morning

    I live in a small town with a large immigrant population. My own parents were immigrants. It was so before we were in the EU and even more so after. Sadly the town voted for Brexit. It was a xenophobic vote, no matter what people may say. Post Brexit there has been a huge very noticeable explosion of west Africans; west African families, instead of the single young Eastern Europeans. It’s not what the racists voted for and I can only imagine their anger. Brexit has come back to bite them.

    International students bringing dependents was never the problem. They get there degree or PhD and either go home or get a job with a working Visa. It's been a massive own goal anrobbed the UK of much needed revenue and GDP.

    Atkins is probably the worst of all Tory politicians - immeasurably stupid but constantly strident. She should be ashamed of her poor grasp of all topics but cleary is incapable of shame. This (current) Tory Shadow Cabinet is surely the feeblest ever but she takes the prize for incompetence (even from Patel...? Hmmm?)

    Fewer students coming in, Universities lose £500m a year. Honestly, the Tories should be a proscribed organisation, they really should. VA is so dense I’m sure that light would bend around her.

    2:02 - university towns and cities also have their economies hit because few students means less money being spent in the area

    The immigration change in January has been catastrophic for UK universities, which has implications for British jobs and the UK economy. Brexit and Reform voters no doubt think universities laying off 10% of their staff is due to a 2% increase in employers NI.
