We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too.
Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable.

I’m afraid they will turn out to be a one term government and I don’t want to think about what might follow…
She said they must be 'recruited' into the roles, that they got the visas for.
These people got the visas to do care work and aren't doing it, so where are they?

It does report this.
Unless they improve pay/conditions in the sector to attract UK residents, this will lead to shortages in staff = less/poor care for vulnerable.
We need more immigration, not less....
The homecare service should be run by local councils and not for profit!!!.

Which I think would be OK if the government were willing to give the councils more to cover it…

This is such a short term and populist move.
The wriggly dialogue in opposition, sarcasmnyo the person, not their rascist agenda and her abject failure to call out the Genocide in Palestine is just the tip of her Fascist soul.
Why are we governed by such amateurs?
How on earth does any of that make any sense
