Nick Ferrari challenges Home Secretary Priti Patel over the UK's post-Brexit immigration system which will deny visas to low-skilled workers. The government has unveiled a new point-based system to be introduced from January 2021 that intends to "end reliance on low-skilled workers" and make it easier for higher-skilled workers to get UK visas.
"This will clearly take back control of our borders and will for the first time in decades," the Home Secretary said.
"We are creating a single global immigration system that will treat EU and non-EU citizens equally by ending free movement through the points-based system which will prioritise peoples' skills for our economy and obviously enable us the government to be in control of our policy, but to support the labour market in the right way."
Nick pushed the Home Secretary to respond to critics who say the new system can spell disaster for the care sector.
She dispelled his examples and emphasised that "of course" people will be qualified to work in the care sector as "they'll be able to come through our high-skilled route through the points-based system."
