Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s £40,000 “leave the UK” proposal sparks a storm online with millions of young people jokingly asking “Can we get £40,000 to leave as well?”
The controversial idea, aimed at encouraging certain migrants to voluntarily depart, has triggered a wave of sarcasm on social media, as struggling young Britons say they’d happily take the cash and start a new life abroad.
Critics say the reaction reflects growing frustration among Britain’s youth over the cost of living crisis, housing shortages, and limited opportunities at home.
