So unless you earn £38K you can no longer marry anyone who doesn’t have their own right to live here. People keep saying that means 73 per cent of Brits can’t marry a foreigner - but it’s worse than that isn’t it? You get married when you’re young. Hardly anyone young earns that.

So, if you fall in love & marry someone from overseas, that’s the income you need to settle them here. It’s very high. Something like 75% of us earn less than that.

Is it fair to limit family formation to the rich? Is it conservative potentially to divide families?

We should call this what it is: an assault on mixed-nationality British families. The income requirement for a British citizen to bring their foreign partner to live with them is rising from £18,600 to £38,700
