So basically it’s not that both need to be working, it’s that the current citizen (I.e. her) needs to have been working in the country for at least 6 months. Also the last line is your rich person loophole.
So discriminatory.
Imagine breaking up families because the British one gets disabled and can’t work.
Not just working, but earning at least 29,000.
I believe the rule can be combined with the spouse's income, but the spouse needs the visa to get a job in the first place to meet the requirement.
