Rejected petition Reform the broken visa system keeping doctors and other skilled workers out

Europeans are leaving the country, so we need doctors and other professionals more than ever.
More details
Taking back control over our immigration does not mean rejecting talented people who work skilled jobs, pay lots of taxes and contribute to the UK economy!
