Keir Starmer has opined in an interview with BBC Scotland that Britain needs to train more NHS staff (and pay them properly, he didnt seem to mention that). I agree. He also opined in an echo of Tory Culture Wars that there were too many migrants working in the NHS.

As I wrote in the Guardian (18th July 2022) when you are seriously ill in hospital you don’t mind where your carers come from. You are just grateful they are there. They are welcome here
More resourcing should be put into training doctors and nurses in the UK (Letters, 17 July). However, having just spent two months seriously ill in hospital – now recovering – I was just glad of the excellent porters, ancillary staff, nurses, doctors and consultants, wherever they came from. They are surely welcome here.
