    MPs calling for lower income requirement for migrants

    sounds promising. but where did they get £22,400 from ? unless they've included one child ?

    MPs are looking into lowering the income requirement for British nationals and permanent residents seeking to sponsor a non-European Economic Area spouse or parter.

    The figure is currently £22,400 to sponsor and a further £2,400 for each further child
    The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration (APPG) is discussing lowering this figure to £18,600

    That's already the current amount!

    yes, itv have got it wrong

    New financial rules for migrants from outside the EU are "tearing British families apart", according to a parliamentary report.

    Yes, the initial reports did quote the correct figures....plus of course the government's firm stance on the matter.

    The problem with 'fair' rules is that they tar everyone with the same brush.

    But, this country is all about fairness now, not about common sense.

    Interestingly, this seems to have been quite a theme today.
    I saw an interview on BBC Breakfast News, on the BBC News Channel, in the Newspaper (i) and also on local radio.

    Most folks really just don't know.
    An un-named government minister has admitted the sad family situations resulting from the policy were never considered and forseen and that something must be done.

    Maybe the change will come from media and 'internal government' pressures rather than any legal challenge.
    Let's hope the media coverage will continue

    They were quoting the lady who was sent packing, and away from the 5 month old baby she'd been breast-feeding.

    Yet we are still flooded out with bogus 'asylum seekers', Romanian criminals etc.

    It really makes my blood boil, at what a set of absolutely spineless, hopeless we have running this country.

    I really find that hard to believe Joe. ..half the UK population wouldn't make the 22.5 k. ....I couldn't live on that alone.

    Would be interesting to see the figures of relationship success failure rates since the bar was raised. ..
