We are in the midst of a political change, and a pandemic. I suggest it's wise to see how we emerge as we come out.

“Employers are telling us that lots of people, even if granted settled status, have chosen to return to their native countries,”

Tell me, with a global pandemic raging and total uncertainty, and a lock down, would you stay here or return home? There is every chance those with settled status will return to the UK after the pandemic.
OK - so if I’ve got it right there may or may not be major staff shortages in various sectors but The Guardian has manufactured the stories whatever the truth.

And if there are staff shortages it is probably due to Covid and Brexit has nothing to do with it - despite the opinions of employers and trade organisations who know the people and the timeline.

And there has always a been a problem of crops left to rot in fields, even though the recent problems in Cornwall were due to the absence of European workers in the past few years which Brexit voting locals attributed to Brexit not Covid.

Thankfully you are here to put them right.
