I was on @lbc.co.uk with Nick Ferrari this morning to explain one simple fact: the Home Office is the most anti-family department in government. Labour’s new family reunion policy is yet another in a long line of policies designed to stop people who move from building meaningful family lives.

Yet they admit “COVID-19 spreads more easily in winter because we spend more time indoors with others.” And who spends most time in busy classrooms? Or in nursing/residential homes? Our kids & care workers. Our vax offer is worse than USA’s under Trump. ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/26/w...
MsBlueWednesday (@msbluewednesday.bsky.social) reply parent
And despite having had a minister for LongCovid (has he even been replaced?) the vax offer from Labour for this winter is minimal. 65-75 now will have to buy a vax if they want one. Care home workers won’t even get one to protect them from LongCovid. Nothing for kids unless immunosuppressed.
