For too long, businesses were actively encouraged to bring in lower paid workers, rather than invest in our own people.

We’re fixing the system and restoring control to our borders.

Here’s how. Thread👇 Graphic image with the text: Fixing the system restoring control. Our current system is not selective enough about who comes to the UK.

We’re raising the skills threshold to degree-level to make sure we attract people who can grow our economy. Graphic with the black text: We're increasing the skills required to gain entry to the UK on a skilled worker visa,

✅ Protecting retail workers
✅ Tackling repeat offenders
✅ Disrupting organised criminal gangs

Prime Minister @RishiSunak is cracking down on retail crime and protecting our high street shops.

Here's how ⬇️ 1⃣ Increasing surveillance of suspects using facial recognition technology, backed by a £55 million investment for police forces.

Using mobile units with live facial recognition across the country, police forces will be able to track down perpetrators and prevent crime. No more faceless crimes - that's why we're investing in live facial recognition technology to catch known criminals before they strike.

We’re keeping the public safe from violent and dangerous behaviour. Bringing flares and fireworks to protests now an offence.

Today we're adopting a new approach to Net Zero that is pragmatic, proportionate and realistic – meeting upcoming targets without adding burdens to working families.

We have led on reducing emissions faster than any other major economy.

A thread🧵 Graph showing that the UK has reduced emissions faster than any other major economies Because of the progress we have already made, the UK’s share of global emissions is now less than 1%.

As we continue to cut emissions, we also need to make sure we do not lose the consent of the British people facing higher living costs. Graph showing the UK’s share of global emissions has fallen to less than 1 per cent. This is compared to other countries including China at 27 per cent and United States at 11 per cent.
