Rishi Sunak is facing a cabinet revolt over plans to scrap a graduate visa scheme that allows overseas students to live and work in the UK for up to two years after graduation.
University vice-chancellors warn that ending the graduate scheme could threaten the futures of their institutions and damage local economies, while businesses fear the impact on skills and attracting overseas talent.
Government sources mention opposition from key ministers like the education secretary, chancellor, and foreign secretary, highlighting concerns about harming the higher education sector and economy.
