@ChrisMayLA6 Add in the removal of the NHS bursary- which made training as a nurse/physio/SpLT/etc more attractive- often a bit later in life too.

@ChrisMayLA6 the UK feels no noblesse oblige and is happy to freeload off tremendously poor countries like India, the Philippines or Nigeria.

@ChrisMayLA6 that article is wild. A spokesperson for the department of health said the NHS has zero tolerance for racism and no plans to change their racist policies. Amazing.

@ChrisMayLA6 Rachel Reeves should know that she will not get the growth she wants without rejoining the EU or allowing immigration. They've painted themselves into a corner. And, as you point out, many of our essential public services rely on immigration as well, so better or cheaper public services will also be out of reach.
