UK Labour Immigration Plans Affect 300000 Care Workers

Labour's new immigration policies are reversing previous commitments to 300,000 care workers recruited to address the UK's social care crisis. These workers, primarily from countries like Nigeria, were invited under Conservative policies but now face uncertainty under the new government's plans. This policy shift could impact GBP sentiment as it signals potential labor shortages in critical sectors and immigration policy uncertainty. The changes may affect economic growth prospects and political stability, creating headwinds for sterling against major currencies.
