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.

We've had reports of people being unable to access their eVisa when boarding a flight to the UK.

The airline made them buy an ETA for visitors to the UK, even though they have the right to live here.

If this has happened to you, we'd love to hear from you

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood says she wants migrants seeking to gain indefinite leave to remain in the UK to pass a 'net contribution' test.

I wonder whether she is considering extending that to the rich foreign parasites who have distorted the housing markets, influence politics to the detriment of the general population & avoid paying their taxes... all of which suggest their London & Home Counties enclaves contain many foreigners who are a net cost to the UK!
