  Solidarity with those people in UK who today feel more scared about whether they will get asylum; or their loved ones might be deported for minor offences, or their family will never get a visa, even to visit. These are only proposals for now and their effects aren’t clear yet. But scary still.

  Care sector depends on foreign workers because pay is low for challenging work. Biggest paymaster is the public sector. So raising wages doesn’t depend on immigration rules. It depends on raising taxes. Changing immigration rules without doing that is, at best, cosmetic.

    Health Secretary Streeting backed closure of the specific visa route: will need a workforce, recruitment, retention, pay plan. Casey Review is 2028. Sounds like social care,without bespoke visa, will be among sectors who can negotiate for visas, if evidence of shortage, contingent on training plans
