Hillsborough law?

When I meet officials and ministers from other countries I tell them that cost aside we have about the best ran work permit system in the world

And HMRC often tax the £525 CoS fee and £1,000 per year skills charge at the same rate, so it really rockets. (Ps they shouldn’t be taxing those fees, in my view)

Try making them with mixed herbs, pickled onions and jalepenos. Maybe a bit of mustard powder and salt and pepper

And is Sarah jones the replacement?

The obvious Bertrand Russell and Sophie’s world for philosophy and I wonder whether a view from the foothills would be different and interesting

@focusonlabour.bsky.social and @rfuk.bsky.social

I suspect that in most areas of law the use of AI is about improving the processes that employees and clients follow rather than removing people from those processes. Clients still need and expect a human service, so this is about reducing cost in the areas that don’t need to be done by a person

Thank you Alison. I’ve been thinking about this a lot this week

Such an odd position to take when it will cause all sorts of problems and then definitely fail at judicial review and

It would basically take us back, in part, to the old days of work permit. They were slow, uncertain and expensive for the home office to consider. It would be a real shame if that is what is happening here, but we’ll find out more tomorrow

And I can’t see us carrying on as one of the fastest decision makers in the world. It will take weeks longer to compile applications, probably weeks longer to decide them. Could be backlogs etc.

It would no longer be objective, no longer provide the certainty that employers need. Maybe you can sponsor maybe not, we’ll tell you when we’ve decided.

Or, individual employers will need to provide a justification every time they try and sponsor someone. That could be very messy and undermine what currently makes the UK’s work permit system the best in the world.

That will make things harder but is familiar and can work.

There are two ways to read this: industries could do work up front to get vacancies onto a shortage list. They’d be showing that the jobs are skilled, in shortage and it is sensible to fill them with overseas workers. That is a recasting of what we’ve had since the PBS was introduced in 2008.

Thank uou

Where did you find this please Jonathan? I haven’t seen anything on the mobility/ mode 4 provisions
