Labour lets hundreds of vape shops, newsagents and barber shops hire migrants while Britain's youths go jobless
The Home Office is allowing hundreds of small businesses to hire migrants via a 'skilled worker' visa route, while young Britons remain unemployed.Summary
The Home Office is permitting hundreds of vape shops, newsagents, and barber shops to hire migrants through a controversial 'skilled worker' visa route. A searchable list reveals over 140,000 firms hold licences, including at least 400 pizza restaurants, 79 vape shops, and over 90 newsagents. Critics argue this system is exploited by low-grade businesses and has led to overseas workers taking jobs that would have gone to young Britons. Research indicates non-EU arrivals have secured three times as many jobs as young British people since 2020. In response, the Government has pledged to create 300,000 new work experience and training placements for young people, while the Home Office claims it is tightening requirements and cracking down on abuse.
