"Thousands of care workers here in the UK entirely legally have been left high and dry, unable to work, while care homes are crying out for staff,"
"In what world does that make any sense?"
"We are going to break the logjam in Scottish politics it's time to be more assertive."
"This was delivered by a government wholly owned by and wholly serving the people of Scotland."
The Scottish government will sponsor visa applications for hundreds of overseas care workers to remain in the UK at an estimated cost of about £500,000. The UK government has tightened visa access for care roles, leaving many legally present workers unable to work while care homes face staffing shortages. The Scottish government describes the UK policy as prejudiced and damaging to Scotland’s interests and plans to make independence central to the next Scottish parliament election. The strategy links independence with rejoining the EU and leveraging low-cost renewable energy, while highlighting low council tax and water bills, reduced child poverty, free university tuition and prescriptions, free bus travel for under-22s, and the scrapping of peak rail fares as key achievements.
