@MartinMonmouth@BurnsideWasTosh The correct decision and I'm glad he took it but the only reason it was happening in the first place was because of Labour's own legislation coming into effect at the start of the year.
Medics trained abroad accounted for 55.6 per cent of cases where misconduct was proven last year, despite making up 42 per cent of doctors working in the UK

What makes the Icelandic referendum result particularly interesting is the fact that the government was adamant that the question had nothing to do with joining the EU.
Knowing that Icelanders are not enthusiastic about EU membership, the government decided to take a rather peculiar approach.
They constantly emphasised that it was only a question of ‘finding out what the EU is willing to offer us’, ‘taking a peek inside the gift package’, and then deciding later.
The people said, ‘No thanks!’
@NGanetsovski@douglasbulloch No doubt the pro-EU parties will try again, just as they did in Norway (plus the PM dodged the Q when asked at the press conference). But they couldn't even convince the country to agree to accession talks, let alone actually joining the EU when the terms are clear.
This is how crazy Euroloons have become.
They see any setback to their own imperial plans as somehow aiding and abetting Putin and Trump.
This was a vote by Icelanders and a verdict on the EU.
@Alexarmstrong True, this is as popular as he'll ever be. Unfortunately for him that still means losing Lab's majority & having to go into a coalition. While Lab prob won't mind a coalition with LibDems (& maybe others), losing the majority could destroy his party authority & tarnish his image.
@Pango987@FUDdaily A wet always invariably pops up at just the right time, full of aloof condescension, to punish any stray thought that the party may have actually learned something from the 2024 election.
@Number10cat@RachelT1722 You should probably read more about EFTA & the EEA, and how they interact with the EU, because it's simply not true to say they have no say. Perhaps you meant to say they don't have a vote and only have a practically-limited veto.
@JohnApplebyLD Depends on the people, but yes, certainly not Afghanis. Are you completely oblivious of the social views held by most Afghanis? On women, on sexual rights, on apostates, etc.; why on Earth would you want to risk importing any of that?
@donmcgowan It's probable that the vast majority of Afghans, and of migrants generally, are law-abiding, so relative figures shouldn't be used to demonise whole groups.
@FUDdaily Yes, he would have to break that annoying habit of walking back any policy a colleague had worked on as soon as it became mildly inconvenient in the heat of the moment to defend in an interview, assuming he'd even read it.
A few weeks ago, three women all died of ‘heart attacks’ on the same boat.
Now we have two burned and one stabbed on today’s boats.
THE MEN WE ARE IMPORTING ARE ABSOLUTE MONSTERS.
WE WARNED YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
