Visas until Xmas only.
So that means everyone gets a turkey and feels good about Christmas in a cynical voter happiness move by Johnson
Does he think we are that stupid?
The answer appears to be, yes.

RT if you agree 🙌
This week we revealed astonishing new emails between civil servants that prove there was a VIP fast track to award testing contracts to firms favoured by ministers.
Here’s the details: https://t.co/PVx9cUBPz6
Andrew Opie, director of food and sustainability at the British Retail Consortium, who warned on Friday the government had just 10 days to solve the driver shortage issue, said the plans were insufficient.

This has been on the cards for days. But a) in itself it may not help much - temp visas isn't FoM b) if there's case for HGV then why not other sectors in crisis e.g. social care? c) at what point do we admit ending FoM, a central reason for Brexit, was a terrible mistake?
This is our local hospital. I've had to go there many times in the middle of the night to access urgent care for myself or my family. Terrifying to see people who come into A&E not even being able to get into the building - waiting outside in the cold.
It's not even winter yet.
Ffs why would they want to come? After everything that was said about EU migrants, surely better to go somewhere they are wanted? https://t.co/d2na8fLX29
I've never spoken to a politician half as open and unguarded as @AngelaRayner. This is an extraordinarily frank conversation. I hope you can find the time to listen to the whole thing.
Right now we’re begging the HGV drivers to return. In time we may also appeal to the nurses, carers and factory workers. Really we should be asking forgiveness of all the people we said were not welcome, regardless of their supposed economic value. This was their home.
There is no question that the cause of our current food and petrol shortages is Brexit. The Brexiteers refuse to admit it. But nobody can say that we were not warned
I hate to disappoint all the leave voters but France is awash with fuel and supermarkets are well stocked despite having Covid…really can’t think what could have caused our fuel shortages & empty shelves, can you??? 👀👀
Could it just possibly be #BrexitReality#johnsonisaliar
@Tobias_Ellwood Or you could:
👉 tell the truth about immigration
👉 admit that immigrants are not taking jobs/lowering pay
👉 apologise to EU citizens
👉 acknowledge that leaving the single market causes far more problems than it solves
THAT would be leading
What you set out is just logistics
The Labour and trade union movement took Angie the careworker from Stockport, sent her to Parliament and elected her Deputy Leader.
Our party changes lives. It changed mine, and when I am Deputy Prime Minister our new deal for working people will change millions of lives.
So we have an HGV driver crisis made far worse by Brexit but, according to the Brexit numbnuts, this can also be solved by Brexit because, having ‘taken back control’, we can now issue visas to people we told to piss off and lower the safety standard of HGV driving tests.
Jeezus.
