The British economy has suffered from the impact of the new crown epidemic, and there is a shortage of manpower in many industries. The British " Financial Times " reported that in order to alleviate the labor shortage, Prime Minister Tras plans to comprehensively review the UK's work visa requirements, including relaxing the English proficiency requirements of foreign workers in certain industries. report quoted sources as saying that the authorities plan to modify the "Shortage occupation list" and relax the requirements for English language skills in some industries, allowing British companies to recruit more professionals from overseas. For example, the UK needs to hire more broadband engineers to meet its 2025 goal of broadband coverage for UK households. The report also mentioned that the authorities plan to revoke the cap on the number of people who are seasonal temporary work visas for agriculture.
In addition, during an interview with the BBC (BBC), Kwasi Kwarteng was asked whether he would relax the list of work visas for more jobs. He said that the Ministry of Home Affairs will announce details of the measures in the next few weeks, and pointed out that the UK should control and promote immigration imports in a way that conforms to national conditions and stimulate local economic growth. It is reported that the Ministry of Home Affairs' list allows immigrants from EU to enter the UK more easily, and the visa fees they pay are lower, and employers are exempted from the usual obligation to prove that "there is no suitable local employee to hold the position".
Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit , British companies have suffered from labor shortages in recent years. Local business community welcomes new measures, believing that in addition to protecting labor, it can also suppress increasingly severe inflation. However, one of the main purposes of Brexit is to regain power to control borders from the EU and reduce foreign immigration. Tras, who was erratic in his Brexit position, advocated staying in Europe in a high-profile manner before the 2016 Brexit referendum; but when the referendum was a foregone conclusion, she turned to become a Brexit faction. Tras is now considering easing immigration, which is not only a disguised recognition of the negative impact of Brexit on the British economy, but also makes people question his stance.
National CPPCC Vice Chairman and former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying posted on the Facebook personal page, describing the British as "repentance". He continued to point out that one of the reasons for the UK's Brexit on the same day was that it was not for the people of EU member states to work in the UK, and now it is known that it is "in vain"; and Brexit was a "democratic" decision through a referendum, and if visas are issued, it would be disrespectful to public opinion.
Leung Chun-ying also posted that Westerners like to stand on the moral high ground they think, criticizing developing countries minors working and forced labor as anti-human behavior. He pointed out that the UK is complaining about the lack of labor force and also complaining that teenagers are not full, and called on Westerners to "put down their figure." Liang Zhenying said: "There is a saying in Chinese that 'The horse dies and falls to the ground'! The value of a person lies in self-reliance."
