Labour are planning to waive the rules for care visas (lifetime fiscal cost £100bn+, will immediately stop working in care) while cracking down on bankers. In order to get their MPs to agree to this, they've given "community charities" the right to sponsor non-work immigration.

Today, Restore Britain has published our comprehensive veterans policy paper, A Home Fit for Heroes. I want Britain to become a country that properly looks after the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. Our proposals are substantial. We will establish a dedicated Department of Veterans' Affairs, headed by a Cabinet-level Secretary of State. One department responsible for veterans' welfare, pensions, compensation, housing, healthcare and employment support. Every local authority area will have access to a dedicated Veterans Officer. Someone who can actually get things done - one point of contact to simplify the process. We will abolish NHS prescription and dental charges for qualifying veterans and their immediate families. Free eye tests and hearing tests, too. Where NHS dentistry is unavailable, we will fund private treatment. Veterans will receive statutory priority for social housing - nobody who served this country should be left sleeping on our streets. NOBODY. We will introduce funded retraining for veterans whose military qualifications are not recognised in civilian life, alongside lifelong employment support. We will also encourage recruitment of former servicemen and women into our police, emergency services, prisons and border services. And importantly - immigration enforcement roles. We will bring post-service pensions and compensation administration together under the new department. Bereaved families will receive dedicated support, and we will introduce a funeral contribution for veterans whose deaths were not attributable to military service. We will legislate to stop malicious legal proceedings against veterans who served. We will not tolerate endless legal harassment of our former servicemen and women - we will legally pursue those found to be engaging in vindictive complaints against our veterans. We will also introduce a statutory Veterans Charter, giving qualifying veterans enforceable rights rather than leaving them dependent on goodwill. As a party, we are sick of seeing veterans treated as an afterthought. These people served our country. Some came home with life-changing injuries. Others lost friends, colleagues and years with their families. They have done their duty to Britain. It is time Britain did its duty to them. That is what a Restore Britain Government will deliver.

From today, charities can apply to sponsor refugees through new, capped Named Community Sponsorship and Refugee study safe and legal routes. Sponsors will provide accommodation, integration support and help finding work. First arrivals are expected in autumn 2027.

I asked @grok to fact check the Muslim ☪️ woman in a niqab driving the number 88 bus 🚌, it's true 👍 Someone who uses the bus claims she barely speaks English. Insufficient vision & an inability to communicate, this must be dangerous.
