Stop planning on the basis that immigration will solve the problem and have a strategy to “grow our own”. Nobody is dumb enough to think it can be done overnight.

Well argued response 👍

I totally agree that these need to be addressed as well - but it has to pay to work. However, with regards to covid in general and to PPE in particular we will never know what a Labour Government would have done.
