Today's Times.

The govt's new visa changes have caused an 83% fall in visas granted to health & care workers.

We have:

152k social care vacancies

121k NHS vacancies.

This is catastrophic for our NHS & care sectors.

The govt is putting anti-immigrant populism above care.

These people are complete idiots who won't be happy until they vandalize everything good in the country.

Foreign students aren't immigrants, they are EXPORTS. Unis are one of the few remaining fields of UK excellence and a source of soft power. These imbeciles want to wreck them

What’s the one thing 68 million of us really want now?

Higher food prices!

Thanks, Brexit.

I don’t blame the people who voted for Brexit, I blame the politicians who lied through their teeth about Brexit.

Jail them.

Susan Hall has said Jewish Londoners should be 'frightened' of Sadiq Khan, referred to the city as 'Londonistan', campaigned alongside an Islamophobic activist and said black people have a 'problem with crime'

But apparently it's the people calling this out who are 'disgusting'

The proposals are as cruel as they are ineffective.

If the Government wants to reduce the numbers unable to work due to poor mental health it should focus on funding mental healthcare, reducing levels of poverty, and improving working conditions. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

This is the latest in a series of attacks by the UK Government on people with a disability or health condition.

Instead of looking to improve the conditions in which we live and work, it is instead placing blame on individuals.

2 days post op (intraocular lenses). Great distance vision but I need about +2 for reading something I'm holding, and +1.5 for music stand distance when playing the violin. When eyes have settled I might get something fancier; but for now, at £4:50 from TK Maxx, these will do.

what the fuck are the handcuffs for?

For the 100th time it is NOT illegal to claim asylum (and I don't care about any new international law breaking laws parliament may have passed saying otherwise)

Yesterday, Brexit incoming border checks came in.

Even the Daily Mail understands the consequences.

So how many times did Starmer bring it up at ?

6 times? No.
5 times? No.
4 times? No.
3 times? No.
2 times? No.
1 time? You must be joking!

He didn't even mention it.

Britain is NOT a democracy under FPTP.
PR is the only fair way to representative government and true democracy where everybody's vote is of value and counts equally.

The most Right-Wing policy in the UK is our FPTP voting system.

Most votes have been Left-of-Tory since 1951 but Tories have been in power for most of that time.

So FPTP gives us governments that are more right-wing than voters.

ANY politician who backs it CANNOT be trusted.

The RW media are screaming about the success of someone getting deported to Rwanda.

But there are TWO Rwanda schemes. And chalk is closer to cheese than the two schemes are to each other.

The person was sent under the uncontroversial scheme. The evil scheme is still stalled.

I’m aghast at this figure

In this one hospital, they covered 726 doctor shifts with PAs in a 6 month period

726 SHIFTS?!

That’s 4 shifts PER DAY!

Did patients know they weren’t being seen by a doctor? Did they consent?

This is totally out of control!
