A new dimension to the callousness & inhumanity of our political class (Labour are just doing what other Right parties would).
Migrant workers now seem to being forced into the invidious choice between their hopes for (eventual) permanent settlement/residency (already becoming more contingent) and maintaining access to benefits to help them in their strained circumstances, forced on them by low-wage Britain.
Sometimes I just feel sick of it all!

Now Labour is really showing their colours:
while many immigrants will (now) be waiting decades in insecurity awaiting for their residence to be confirmed; for 'higher earners' & rich entrepreneurs residence will be fast tracked in around three years.
So we're going from a situation where *all* migrants could apply for permanent residency after five years... to a situation where its one law for the rich & another for the rest!
This is (surely) just class war?

If migrants are to fully contribute to their host economies, their (foreign) qualifications need to be recognised, so they can fully deploy the skills they have.
But, this is not alway the case, locking too many migrants into low(er) paying careers than their experience & qualifications would imply.
Some break out by become entrepreneurs (of various sorts), others only see better jobs when their children get them.
Whatever the personal issues its an economic waste.

In a newly published paper in Ethnic and Racial Studies
Inna Leykin and I focus on how #migrants are imagined in European postsocialist nation states (re)established along new geopolitical borders, and incorporated into a new supranational political union - #EU.

One key element of the housing crisis is the hell of houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) much loved of TV programmes like Houses Under the Hammer, but too often experienced as places of exploitation & threat by their tenants (existing in rentals that are often outside the law).
As Aditya Chakrabortty explores this is a reflection of the buy-to-let logic of the Thatcherite housing 'revolution' linked to austerity & racism/prejudice.
