Lol Nigel, UK's Trump.

New YouGov poll says that Reform has now overtaken the Conservatives so he's resonating with a lot of people.

At this rate he will soon overtake Labour and then things will really start to get interesting.

"I have never voted in my life, but this time I'm voting, and I am voting Reform. Though I don't like Farage because he's never been in one place. But I will vote for his party still"

Quoting my neighbour word for word. Farage has won many voters to his side in the past few days/weeks, so I am not surprised they have overtaken the Conservatives,

Nigel Farage made a clear point of mocking the conservatives in his closing statement, reminding them that they were the second big party until today kindof...

But he clearly stated that he believes that Keir would be the next PM, and he wants to lead the opposition.

UK politics is quite intriguing, almost all the party reps at the debate tonight agreed that labour would produce the next PM. Kinda strange though, their level of objectivity and frankness is quite surprising.

Cool.. Nothing was written on cutting legal migration which evident Starmer might work around changing some Conservative Policies…

Hi👋
Jumping on this too cos I have a similar question with that of the Op.
But mine is drawn towards the New entrant visa category. What's the minimum salary that can be sponsored for someone switching from Students Visa into Tier 2? *This is asides the NHS or healthcare sector*

Hi, thanks for the response. What if it is with a local authority? I currently have a part time role with a county council that the full time amount is 24k - 27k.

Does this qualify too?

Depends on what you actually earn and what the salary threshold for your job is. If you work part-time, the actual salary you receive must be above the salary threshold for your occupation code in order for you to qualify for sponsorship

For instance, the minimum salary you can earn under the health and care category in the NHS is £23,200 for a full-time job (known as 1 FTE). If you are working part time, i.e. a percentage of the standard 37.5 hours a week - lets assume 30 hours a week, which is equivalent to 80% of 37.5 hours (which will be 0.8 FTE), - then your prorated annual salary would be 80% of £23,200, which is obviously less than the minimum salary so you can't be sponsored.

So you need to determine what your actual salary is and compare it to the minimum salary for your occupation code to give you an idea of whether you can be sponsored or not.

No chance...although they are cutting into some of Labour's vote share.

Besides Nigel doesn't really want to overtake Labour. He wants power without the responsibility of governance (at least for now)

Do you really think Farage doesn't want to sit in Number 10 and give orders to start making life difficult for everyone whose skin colour is less than pale pink, among other things? I'd disagree. Its the Ed Daveys and the Carla Whatever-Her-Name-Is of this election who know they will never have that power so they can shoot for the moon - Farage wants it and knows he can get it. I see Farage in a coalition by next election.

He's never even managed to be elected as an MP despite 6 attempts I think, so I think his first goal is just to get a seat in parliament and enough Reform MPs to be the main opposition, and then his next ambition would be to become PM. He said as much in his speech when he announced he would be running

You're agreeing with me now.
Farage wants to become PM, and he believes its likely to happen next parliament. If it happens now, he'd take it.

Thank you for this.
I think if danny34 would also clarify if the role would be a full time role by the time he's rounding up his masters, it could give better context and if you can shed more light on that instance.
I'm also on a part time role with a LA and I know with the calculations above, the part time porated annual salary doesn't qualify for sponsorship.

By October 1, I am transitioning to a full time role.

So, I am asking based on the full time role. I am only able to do 20 hours now because of my visa requirement.

So since the role in the health and care sector, can I be sponsored on the threshold 24 - 27k? Can at least wify join as dependant?

Answer: The vast majority

Unless the question is how many UK citizens want to work in roles that have a reputation for having difficult working conditions and relatively poor pay, such as care work.

This is his 8th attempt. He ll win. Clacton is a far right stronghold.

Yes, if your role for the local authority is on this list: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-and-care-visa-guidance-for-applicants/health-and-care-visa-guidance-accessible and on the national pay scale for the sector.

How do you get somebody on the waiting list for a knee replacement into work? Untreated anxiety ? Depression?

Until they are treated, it's wishful thinking

As it is not an immigrant issue, the political parties would rather sweep this one aside.

The average brit has an exceptionally large taste for "living" the good life. Even Ukraine with missiles and bombs raining down on them every week does not have 1 in 5 out of job and not looking for work.

Many of the young ones have a very strong sense of entitlement and no stress....and it's not just about care sector. Check the big4 consulting firms, many of their recruits are immigrants or 2nd, 3rd generation immigrants. Any sector where long gruelling hours or challenging situations arise, many of the young brits will leave the chat room. The older ones tend to have a different attitude to work, but the younger ones, most businesses will go bankrupt hiring them. That is the inconvenient truth.

I have seen someone who spent several weeks sick and returned to put in a request to travel on holiday. Even when he was working, he always emphasised that he has back pain and so could not work for long hours at his desk even when he was home. He never shows any concern as to how the company manages to pay him even when he is working the bare minimum.

Zahra29:


£23,200 as already advised.

However it would have to be an NHS health and care role to sponsor your dependents. Other care workers have been banned from adding their dependants.

If one has been a sponsored carer in the UK for over 2 years before the new sponsorship policies were enacted... would it affect me?
I mean, I plan to switch/change sponsor (same care) if the opportunity comes, would it affect my dependants? Must it also be NHS before I could add them?
We are here in the UK already.
Thank you

These are massive and untrue generalisations. Or maybe it depends on where you live and work. It's similar to the generalisations Nigerians make when they attend certain universities and conclude that most Brits don't pursue further education - but if they visited the likes of Imperial, Kings and Warwick they would see a completely different picture.

In Financial Services for example, going through the city of London and canary wharf, most recruits are white Brits. Same applies in Law - ethnic minorities are still massively under represented, especially blacks, and especially in business facing functions versus technical roles, and I've noticed recently that the Chinese/HK are making up a higher proportion of immigrant intake.


Many companies, even the bigger ones, used the previous visa rules to drive wages down and pay less than would be expected for the role. Now that they are forced to pay a minimum £38,700 to sponsor overseas workers, they have chosen to pull those offers and instead recruit from the domestic workforce, because it no longer benefits them financially.

No you won't be affected if you were on the health and care visa route before the rule change. You are still able to add your dependants if you switch sponsor and you are not restricted to the NHS.

We're saying the same thing I suppose. Yes Farage wants to be PM. I don't believe he wants it now because it is a bit of a poisoned chalice at the moment with the way Tories have left things, but that's a moot point anyways cos he knows he can't win this election.
