''For years, dentists failing the ORE could immediately register and work as therapists. The GDC characteristically stonewalled, denying that there was any patient safety issue.
Eventually after much dogged campaigning, in particular from The British Association of Dental Therapists (BADT) the loophole was finally closed in late 2023.
Now, it will not just be reopened but enlarged.
The dentists that would have failed the ORE will be able to work not as therapists, but dentists''

→ Without migrants, we wouldn’t have the NHS

𝗪𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦. 𝗪𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠.

Our NHS would collapse without migrants. Almost 20% of the staff in NHS England are from overseas.

Out of 1.5 million NHS staff in England, around 265,000 reported a non-British nationality as of June 2023. That’s 45,000 more than the previous year.

What’s more, since Brexit, data indicates that the proportion of EU citizens working for the NHS has declined and tapered off, whilst the proportion of Asian migrants working for the NHS has rapidly increased.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻? 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀.

A key reason given by voters for choosing ‘Leave’ in the referendum was their feeling that we had too many EU migrants here.

This view was bolstered by the (then) pro-Remain Conservative government and the (then) pro-Remain Labour opposition, who pandered to the view that we had too many EU migrants, instead of robustly challenging that narrative.

So, with anti-immigration sentiments running high and echoed by the British press and the two main parties, Brexit happened.

As a direct result, it’s more difficult for EU citizens to stay or come here; many EU citizens no longer feel welcome here; many have left their employment, in the NHS and other key organisations; many have departed the country.

Since Brexit and the pandemic, net migration of EU citizens to the UK has fallen by almost 70% compared to its 2016 peak.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗨 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘄𝗲?

Actually, yes, we did. Who was going to fill those jobs, in the NHS and thousands of companies and organisations across the country, vacated by EU citizens who had made Britain their home?

British workers? Nope. We simply don’t have enough British workers to do all the jobs in Britain.

So, the Conservative government is quietly issuing visas to hundreds of thousands of migrants from other continents to work here, to help replace those EU citizens who left, and to ease record numbers of unfilled job vacancies following Brexit and the pandemic.

And yet, at the same time, the government is loudly pretending to the British public that we don’t need migrants, that we have too many.

It’s reported by The Guardian that net migration boosted the UK population by a record 745,000 in the year to December 2022, fuelled in part by a surge in overseas professionals arriving to work in the NHS and care homes.

𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁!

So, lo and behold, we needed EU migrants here after all. We didn’t have too many.

The bottom line is that Brexit is based on an enormous lie about there being too many immigrants, propagated by even pro-Remain politicians who should have known better.
