Today's performative clampdown on migrants will gut our care homes of desperately needed staff.
We are *already* short of over 150k carers.
Banning foreign care workers will only exacerbate this - increasing suffering of society's most vulnerable members & pressures on the NHS.
It's madness.

So glad you all enjoyed it! Can't quite believe this is actually open now! 💚🌿 #naturenurture
This morning, @newdramrising.bsky.social, the little apprentice, and I visited the wonderful @selcie.bsky.social ‘Nurture through Nature in Children’s Books’ at the Museum of Edinburgh. If you get chance, do take time to see it (on until 7 Sept). Congratulations, @sarahdunnigan.bsky.social
