Background
The £29,000 threshold is unfairly high, breaching the human rights of UK citizens with overseas partners, and forcing families apart.
This discriminates against working-class people, especially outside London. The MAC review must end this cruel policy. Labour inherited it—now you must fix it and support the families you represent.
