UK PM Rishi Sunak announces the delay of the planned rule, requiring individuals to earn £38,700 before bringing family to the UK. The increase, initially set for spring, will now occur in two stages, with £29,000 next spring and £38,700 in 2025. Sunak defends the delay, stressing the importance of financially supporting dependents, stating, "The principle here is absolutely right that if people are bringing dependants into this country, they must be able to support them." The government aims to reduce migration levels, addressing concerns about the initial increase disrupting households and allowing time for applicants to meet the new threshold.
