The UK government changed the minimum income threshold to sponsor a partner visa from £18,600 to £38,700 overnight. Many families, including my own, may be forced either to live separately or to leave Britain to be together. Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Clarification from Home Office that the £38,000 income threshold for UK citizens wishing to bring a spouse applies to "the income from the UK-based partner" NOT joint income. Concern this effectively means only those among the top 25% of earners can afford to marry a foreigner

Waking up to the news that the minimum income to sponsor a spouse visa went from £18,600 to £38,700 overnight is devastating for so many families. Less than 75% of British citizens make that. Why does @RishiSunak think he can put a price on love? theguardian.com/world/2023/d…

This should be shocking, but sadly it’s not. We don’t need gatekeepers of science. Science is better with different ideas, perspectives and people at the table. full video is even worse. 🤮 science.org/content/article/…
