Goodbye Care Workers - Kuenssberg today
They now want to get rid of our care workers !
Cooper is asked about visas for care workers and says rules will change to restrict recruitment from abroad.
She says current care worker visas will be allowed to be extended but employers shouldn't be recruiting from abroad going forward, which is a "significant change".
She says: "We do think it is time to end that care worker recruitment from abroad."
Kuenssberg points out there are ALREADY shortages and care homes will be worried about how they will get enough staff. However, Cooper insists there is a pool of foreign workers already in the UK.
But there IS NOT – and Low pay and working conditions being too poor for any UK care workers !

Well I guess it'll create all those jobs for disabled people. That couldn't possibly end badly. 😆

But carers in care homes should now be on minimum wage which i £12 an hour , so they should be fine .

£12 per hour IS low pay nowadays

They conveniently forget "unpaid" carers on less than £2 per hour
