Another day, another overhaul of the immigration rules (sigh). This time, it's more of the same: illogical, ill-advised restrictions which will harm families and communities and decimate public services and institutions. It defies all logic. Labour, like the Conservatives before them, think certain visa routes are a tap which can be turned on and off whenever the net migration figure isn’t to their liking.

Governments have been turning the tap on and off for decades. We needed health and social care workers post-pandemic: in 2022, they expanded the route. The net migration figs got too high:they closed the doors. What this ignores is that we will NEED to recruit overseas again

I wrote this piece the last time central government messed around with social care. Nurses like Evans will now go elsewhere - US, Canada, Australia - where they are respected and recompensed for the incredible work they do. Without them, homes will close. https://t.co/6IYCfQGzC4
