This is a disgraceful, damaging policy. We are crying out for workers in the care sector. Employers in our local area are doing all they can to plug a shortfall in care workers - who could be looking after any of us or our loved ones - and this is a huge kick in the teeth to them all.
It was bad enough that people understandably voted with their feet after Brexit, and returned home, leaving serious recruitment gaps in the care workforce. Now we are seeing the UK Government in full on populist mode making things that much worse, and making the environment all the more hostile. This is not grown up politics, and it is those who most need support who will be the ones dealing with the consequences.
