Suella Braverman is going to be fuming when she finally discovers who was in charge of immigration policy up until last week!
Given the skills shortages we need an immigration system that is fit for purpose. We need to be able to bring people in with the skills that we need.
At the same time, we should be ensuring that the working conditions are so good people are not going to take our training and simply leave the country, like many doctors are doing for example.
The UK immigration needs to be flexible and dynamic to adapt to new technology especially given how quickly it changes.
Education needs to be such that people look to the UK to attract that talent, so we are also competitive.
I did read that care workers brought in from over seas are in some cases paid LESS than their UK counterparts, so a harsh clampdown on bad employers is also needed.
