Good to see that among the shortage workers who will get in is ballerinas...
I suspect its likely just typical popularist Tory dog-whistle bullcrap as the idea clearly makes zero economic sense. Once its splashed over the hate-tabloids for a few weeks it will likely quietly vanish. I do suspect the life for those who are unemployed or on low-wage is about to get very miserable though. A lot of this looks like a setup for a future ‘work for your dole’ policy.
