The idea for the ban originally came from a Citizens' Assembly.

Nadhim Zahawi said this morning it would cost £10bn to give nurses a proper pay rise, so it’s unaffordable.

Know what else cost us exactly £10bn? His Government’s sleazy procurement process which led to millions of items of defective and unsuitable PPE https://twitter.com/lbc/status/1599340710242750466

@goodlawproject Where are the calculations for the pay increase for nurses? Since none of the Tories recognise that the starting salary for a nurse is £27k and not £31k as they claim, why would I believe his £10b cost for the nurses to receive a decent deserved pay rise?
Repealing EU laws is a hugely lucrative 'Brexit Opportunity' for the Tories, they can exert full blown disaster capitalism on their 'customers.' That's you, your family (the left-behinds on less than £200,000 per year)
Do you know what a Charter City is? Of the total number of investors granted permanent settlement during this period (2,823), 75% were from countries of human rights concern, while 65% were from Russia and China alone.
They're queuing up for the post Brexit takings.

@Riotgrandma72 I am still waiting for Hancock to stand trial for multiple manslaughter charges however with a morally bankrupt self serving Tory govt in charge I do not think my ‘dream’ will be fulfilled.

Possibly unpopular opinion here…but all these complaints about how the influx of new users is impacting Mastodon culture, it just dawned on me that it’s akin to how people speak about immigrants (i.e. “THEY came here, they should assimilate to OUR way of doing things, and adapt our culture”)
As an immigrant myself (in real life) I know first hand the impacts of this inflexible way of thinking. It’s a nuanced topic, but just something for the OG Mastodon inhabitants to consider.
