Oh man I keep leaving tabs open and then forgetting to post. It's kind of easier not to think about, though :mjcry:


The number of EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) nurses coming to the UK has significantly dropped since Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016. A report by the Nuffield Trust showed that nurses coming from Europe to Britain decreased by 28 percent from 38,992 in September 2016 to 28,007 in September 2021.

Mark Dayan, Brexit programme leader and a co-author of the report, said: “Before the EU referendum, the UK heavily relied on EU staff. Now we can’t get the same people due to free movement restrictions.”

A separate study by the University of Surrey published in November, highlights the financial implications Britain’s falling EU nursing workforce has had on the NHS. It estimates that the cost of having fewer EU nurses in Britain is £61.9m a year. In the three years following the referendum, the loss of 100 EU nurses per 1,000 staff has increased emergency readmission rates for elective patients by 2.2 percent annually. This amounts to just short of 30,000 readmissions per year, costing the NHS £61.9m annually, the researchers found.

Dr Giuseppe Moscelli, a co-author and principal investigator of the ‘Foreign Nurses and Hospital Quality: Evidence from Brexit’ report, said that the research confirmed that NHS hospitals saw a significant decrease in new EU nurses, and as a result, “the quality of care for planned treatments deteriorated.”
Post-referendum, the number of non-EU nurses joining the NHS has increased by 50 percent :laugh: , but the average total number of nurses in each hospital Trust has fallen by 19 workers in the three years post-Brexit.
“In particular, skilled workers tend to have attractive employment opportunities elsewhere and are often the first to refrain from migrating once the uncertainty about their life prospects in a new country increases,” he concluded.
I feel like this was completely ignored in the pre-referendum 'debates', skilled workers have options

@jj23 I have read a couple of political bloggers saying that the most right-wing Tories might have the goal of triggering one more leadership contest before a general election to try and get a charismatic Trump-style bomb thrower in as PM to face Starmer since Sunak is obviously going to catch an ass whipping. Does that seem like a possibility to you?

Suella Braverman has been angling for that role since she resigned as home secretary. There may well be others in the shadows.

Will take more than that. Brexit and Tory lies have broken the people. The only thing they can hope to do is to avoid a whitewashing.

Not to underestimate how stupid xenophobia makes people but I don't see even a narrow path of victory for them.

Labour would have to implode.

shyt is hilarious. if these kinda warnings were coming out before the vote the leave side might have won by even more because the propagandists would have been like "see they are trying to scare us into remaining like that obama fella with his back of the queue comment."

Whoever said Tory would contest Sunak, is not far off.

There is no way, the general population will vote for a brown man and the tories know this.
