1 in 5 of the UK’s care workforce have a non-British passport.
Starmer would have us believe these carers are the “squalid” result of a “failed experiment”.

Yesterday my friend and I met two lovely women outside Barry Station. We were on our way to the Yes Cymru march. They told us that they were SNP supporters from Glasgow and asked if we were happy to have a photo with them. Not sure if they're on social media but it was a pleasure to meet them.
