This Government is an absolute disgrace Please RT if you agree
Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants. This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration ๐Ÿ‘‡

If you watched Mr Bates vs the Post Office or are aware of the Horizon scandal you should know it is more important now than ever to #SupportYourLocalPostOffice The sub-post masters are the victims of the scandal so taking your business away from them will hurt them even more

The government is currently restricting the number of doctors that universities can train At a time when we are desperately short of doctors how can this possibly make any sense? RT if you agree this needs to be corrected asap @RishiSunak @SteveBarclay thetimes.co.uk/article/stop-โ€ฆ
