30 years ago that was a VERY high starting salary. So I'm not sure how relevant it is.

£26,000 was my first salary (after a 3 month probationary period on £19K) and that was 30 years ago. It's pretty depressing to hear that some parts of the UK consider that a respectable salary now.

Given you can buy a nice house for £70k in said areas.

Cheap IT labour salary is under £25k shirley?

So basically the majority of the UK IT workforce then....

Boris wants to attract 'the best brains in the world'. Nothing screams that more than the offer of £26500.

Not much more than minimum wage so makes you think why would people bother really.

"The government should drop the salary threshold for immigrants by more than £4,000, a committee has advised.

Skilled migrants from outside the EU currently need to have a job offer with a minimum salary of £30,000.

But the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) said it should fall to £25,600 for all workers to help recruit teachers and skilled NHS staff.

The committee's chair also called Boris Johnson's proposal for a new points-based immigration system a "soundbite".

Mr Johnson said he wanted a scheme, based on Australia's system, during his summer campaign to lead the Conservative Party, and he made it a key pledge during the election."

It's 25,600 and an actual job offer more than an ex-con from Eastern Europe needs now. Love all the mocking and silly comments.

If this change makes you feel insecure then I suggest you need to up skill.
