NHS workers outside the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, London, to salute local heroes during Thursday's nationwide Clap for Carers initiative to recognise and support NHS workers and carers fighting the coronavirus pandemic.The UK government accused of hypocrisy for pushing ahead with a new immigration law designed to limit the number of low-paid workers coming to the UK.
Labour's shadow home secretary said the plans were "an insult to our incredible NHS staff and care workers."Boris Johnson's government has been accused of "rank hypocricy" for pushing ahead with plans to make it harder for foreign health workers to work in the UK, while clapping those currently in the National Health service for their role in fighting COVID-19.
Once implemented, it will require all immigrants from January 2021 to have a sufficient number of "points" before being authorised to work in the UK. Applicants will need at least 70 points to be granted a visa, excluding many lower paid workers. Johnson's government also plans to add to its immigration system a "fast-track visa" for NHS workers. At £464, the visa will be half of the cost of visas for other foreign workers, and applicants will receive a decision within two weeks.
"I believe the government's plan to rush through this immigration legislation is an insult to our incredible NHS staff and care workers," he said in a letter to Patel"It is, frankly, rank hypocrisy from the government towards EU nationals – over 180,000 in England and Wales alone – who are currently working in our NHS and in the care sector, for ministers to stand and clap for them on a Thursday night, and then tell them that they are not welcome in the UK on a Monday.
