Nursing home care for disabled or demented old people in the UK is utterly lousy, because the nursing homes cannot hire enough staff to do the job right.

The necessary first step to fix this is to tax the rich more, and use some of that money to give nursing home staff a raise and increase the number of staff. But are there more workers available to hire? Where did the former staff go? Were they foreigners who cannot now work in the UK? The government could fix that by allowing more foreigners to immigrate and work. Are they disabled by long Covid? Fixing that would be harder.k
