"There was “no likelihood” that post-Brexit immigration controls would apply to EU workers who were highly skilled and highly paid,
Philip Hammond has said. The chancellor said voters were concerned about foreign workers “taking entry-level jobs” but not about
those with high skills and high pay coming into the UK. His comments go further than previous statements he has made in seeking
to reassure financial services firms that they would still be able to employ staff from abroad."
- Hammond says highly skilled will not face EU immigration controls
If being highly skilled were the criteria involved, healthcare professionals, teachers and engineers (not a comprehensive list) wouldn't
face getting thrown out of the UK. They can and do. Highly paid people skilled in getting paid a lot purchase themselves different
rules. Merit determined by money. I'm unhappy with all the information in the article linked above.

Don't know why people think Boris Johnson won't really 'lie down in front of a bulldozer.' He was happy to lie down the side of a bus.

Thanks for all the replies to my Zac Goldsmith question. I'm a bit busy at the moment and only have half an eye on politics, so I'm not keeping up very well.
By the way, in relation to to above, why exactly are we supposed to be so happy to see foreigners nick all our best paid, interesting jobs as opposed to the crappy ones? Isn't that just fewer decent jobs for British workers? Isn't that the whole problem with poaching ftom abroad, not enough incentive for companies to provide quality training in skilled areas for young people who would love to learn how to do these jobs, but can't compete with ready trained people from other countries?

(my bold)
I'm coming to this late, I read the article linked above late too and knew it was insulting as hell. And government don't care. Or don't know enough to care.
5 million people rely on the LGPS to pay their pensions. Government wants powers over LGPS investment funds, but they could gamble away members’ money on infrastructure projects. This is not allowed in any other UK scheme, including the MPs'. The LGPS must be invested in members’ best interests
