I'm speechless. So much chaos and unnecessary suffering ahead - for what? My mum's outstanding care home would be gutted without the people from outside the UK. How will we get people out of hospital and home?
We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too.
Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable.

Talk about large print! Love God's book!
The printing press was invented in the German city of Mainz by Johannes Gutenberg. To mark his 625th birthday, the city has set a world record by printing the world's largest Bible page (32㎡) using thirteen printing plates and a car for the printing press.

Cheer up, it's a new day with fresh opportunities!
It doesn't take much to upset or unsettle somebody. A word, a look, a gesture can be enough. But then it doesn't take much to comfort somebody, make them smile, feel safe, or welcome. Given the choice, I know what I'd do. We need to look after one another.

Clear explanations are like breathing clean air - can be bracing, but boy, does it feel good after all the fug.
Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.
Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality.
