British musicians were dealt a major blow following the UK’s recent Brexit deal, which failed to secure visa-free travel across Europe for touring artists. The Brexit deal leaves UK musicians facing huge visa costs when touring on the continent, prompting artists to setup a petition that already has more than 155,000 signatures.
A New Brexit trade deal has been agreed between the UK and the EU.
The UK government has announced that 30,000 seasonal worker visas will be made available for 2021, enabling EU and non-EU workers to enter Britain to help pick and pack fruit and vegetables. The number will treble the amount of seasonal worker visas made available in 2020.
The UK seasonal worker visa program was initially launched as a pilot in 2019, and has now been extended by a further 12 months. The extension will apply to EU and non-EU workers once freedom of movement from the European mainland ends on 1 January 2021.
A new report by MPs has warned that food prices could rise unless the government changes its approach to its post-Brexit UK immigration system.

The cross-party group of MPs has instead suggested a more transitional shift away from migrant labour rather than a hard stop when freedom of movement rights between Europe and the UK officially end on 1 January, 2021.
