Temporary lorry driver visas are a symptom of government failure
Rather than acknowledging trade-offs and planning, politicians are exposing migrant workers to more exploitation
Hasnain says:
Surprised the FT went out swinging
“We could have stayed in the EU and improved pay and conditions in these sectors. We could have left the EU and improved pay and conditions in these sectors. But the government insisted we would “have our cake and eat it” rather than acknowledge trade-offs and plan for them. This has precipitated a crisis which may mean the country ends up reliant on low-paid migrant workers after all — just different ones, who are even more vulnerable to exploitation. If there is any cake left, I don’t know who’s eating it.”
