> non-Europeans on skilled worker visas — known as Tier 2 visas So it only applies to people that were allowed in the country because they are "skilled workers". This kind of visa already has a minimum wage requirement. I read somewhere that they are applying the same rules to stay that they applied to give the visa. Still a change, but not what it looks like in the title.

More generally, the existing system works on a points basis, which takes into account a whole bunch of factors that have been tuned for years. You get a certain number of points for a degree, a certain number if you get paid X amount &c

And then some numpty who clearly hasn't read past Economics 101 gets it into their head that anyone who doesn't earn 35k isn't pulling their weight.
