Nursing staff dedicate their lives to caring for others, and too often they are faced with the most appalling hatred and intimidation.
The government must stop pandering to dangerous anti-migrant sentiments and employers must prioritise tackling racism. Staff have the right to be safe at work.

Exclusive: Royal College of Nursing says plan to tighten rules for foreign workers is ‘pandering’ to Reform UK
The NHS and social care would “cease to function” under the government’s new rules to be imposed on foreign staff, nursing leaders have warned, as hundreds of medics condemned the policy as “divisive and xenophobic”.
In the most explicit attack yet on Labour’s proposed restrictions on overseas workers, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) described the plan as “ignorant” and “pandering” to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Continue reading...

The increasingly hostile rhetoric shown towards migrants is deeply concerning.
We urge all UK political parties to end this race to the bottom and instead celebrate the contribution of those from overseas.
Without brilliant migrant nursing staff, our health & care services would cease to function.

After 40 odd years of match going with my Mum who's been a supporter since 1954 we have finally been priced out . Match categories mean I would be paying 60 to 80 pounds a ticket and not much less for my Mum . They've succeeded in shedding a couple of "Legacy fans" and we're from a Munich family.

Question : Have any other Reds walked away in recent years ? I've just had a conversation with the ticket office and feel so dejected .
Legacy fans really are treated with contempt.
