“We are concerned by rumours in the media that we might be pushed into Level 3 of a new system set to be introduced, without any discussion or consultation, or without adequate economic measures put in place to support affected people and businesses."

“It’s Tuan. I am sorry. I cannot take care of you. I am sorry. I am sorry. I cannot breathe. I want to come back to my family. Have a good life.”

“For all the promises of levelling up, this billionaire Chancellor will today be pushing many workers effectively below the minimum wage."

"That's as much as many nurses earn in a MONTH. Scandalous. Kick them out. Give the funds to the NHS."

It seems this new policy announcement won't make it past the virtual conference speech.
