Rebecca Cowan+FollowCare Home Crisis Incoming?Yvette Cooper’s new visa crackdown has everyone talking—and not in a good way. With care homes banned from hiring overseas staff, people are freaking out about who’s actually going to look after the UK’s elderly. The numbers are wild: care worker visa applications have dropped 70% in a year, but there are still over 100,000 vacancies. Some say pay Brits more, others say we NEED foreign workers.

Reform isn’t just about money—it’s about actually fixing a system that’s failing so many people. Will this finally be the moment things change? #SocialCareCrisis #UKPolitics #CareReform #MPsSpeakOut #BrokenSystem #Health230Share
