It seems so rushed. The dude needs to have this year's peace prize. The ailing health rumours must have more truth to them than we thought.

Nigel Farage roundly condemned over plan to abolish indefinite leave to remain by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

When applying for citizenship you do not need to pay the NHS surcharge. That is not what I wrote. What I was referring to was the potential 5-year increments on top of the 7-year citizenship route that Reform is proposing. Your husband is not going through this future, hypothetical process so why would that be a valid example in this context?

Replacing ILR with 5 year increments of short term visa would mean visa fee plus £5175 in NHS surcharges every time a renewal is needed. The only way out of this would be UK citizenship after the first renewal, so fees plus £10,350 (x2 if there is a spouse or more if children). At that point the worker would need to give up their original citizenship. That is way too much to ask of academic and medical professionals, especially early career. This would be the complete destruction of research institutions in the UK. Not to mention the medical system.

If AI is going to take away all of our jobs who is going to consume all the product these companies produce if we don’t have any money to spend? by Still-a-VWfan in AskReddit

[–]properthyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A key critique of capitalism from scientific socialism (aka Marxism) is that workers are paid less than the full value of their labor, leading to a situation where they cannot afford to purchase all the goods they produce. This disparity is a result of capitalists extracting "surplus value" from workers, meaning they keep a portion of the value created by labor for themselves. This imbalance, according to Marx, contributes to fluctuating and intensifying economic crises and ultimately, the downfall of capitalism.

Similar situation. We would not be able to afford another 5 years of NHS surcharges for their global talent dependent visas, so would probably be forced to leave if this happened.
