Really hope bridhes can be rebuilt and the Röhl situation can be resolved.

Not clear how closing the care worker visa can be compensated by recruiting domestic workforce.
The predominant problem in care sector recruitment is low pay (due to poor funding) and difficult work, rather than training.
NICs rise makes it harder to recruit U.K. workers.

The UK is facing a desperate shortage of care workers with an already completely overwhelmed social care sector struggling to meet the demand for services. This plan is the very definition of self harm inflicted to chase Reform voters
“Can you see a day when you say no care workers should come in from abroad?” - Laura Kuenssberg
“Yes we do and we’re going to change the rules this year to prevent a care worker visa being used to recruit from abroad” - Home Secretary Yvette Cooper
We already have a desperate shortage!

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 don't know whether to laugh or cry. Now even the water companies themselves are admitting they can't be trusted and the Environment Agency that they can't do their job.
We've been failed at every level for years and still, it seems, the companies laud it over us.

Sheard, Mammadov, Alonso have all come and gone (thank god) but I'm sure there are a lot more of their ilk out there.
For fans, it's close your eyes and hope for the best 🙏
