The real message you might have missed in the government's clap for our care workers
– a thankful round of applause is perhaps the very least Boris Johnson and his government can do.
“Those who clapped [for carers] on Thursday are only too happy to vote through a bill that will send a powerful message to those same people - that they are not considered by this government to be skilled workers,” shadow home secretary Thomas-Symonds told home secretary Priti Patel in the Commons. “Ever since the Brexit referendum, a significant enough number of care workers have left the country, because they felt unwelcome,” Karolina Gerlich, executive director of The Care Workers’ Charity, tells“That will definitely get worse. Care managers and providers are extremely worried about staffing levels. Before Covid-19, there were around 122,000 vacancies. Now, over 130 healthcare workers have died because of coronavirus, which is absolutely unacceptable.
