[The Home Office has rowed back on plans
to hike the salary needed to bring family members to the UK to £38,700 next spring. The increase - from the current level of £18,600 - was announced earlier this month as part of a plan to lower legal migration. But the new threshold will initially be set at £29,000, with further increases at unspecified dates thereafter. Labour said the change showed "Tory government chaos". [Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said ministers had failed to consult properly on the new threshold, adding: "it's no surprise they are now rowing back in a rush".] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67794032 |

£18k isn't exactly high, and if the gov wants high standards? Then it "should" be higher than that. Even ~£39k isn't exactly riches, but £29k is more "fair".

100% the reason it's been reduced to £29k:
NHS Band 5 annual salary will be at just over £29k in 2924 when this comes in. They can't afford to lose the vast amount of NHS staffing from abroad, and suddenly realised that most of them are not on £38k. |

the sensible approach is to raise it slightly and evaluate what effect it has, not whack up the requirement and then go oops
