yvette isabel. well, yes. yvette coopen isabel. well, yes. new home secretary is keen to demonstrate that they are acting on people who are working illegally in the uk. obviously net migration numbers are huge. there's also the not so small matter of people crossing the channel illegally. this government have scrapped the rwanda plan , so they are the rwanda plan, so they are keen to be seen to be acting. so yvette cooper is saying that over the summer, enforcement officers are going to be targeting places like nail bars, like car washers, where often people are working cash in hand and not necessarily legally. now, as you said earlier, this is well known. so you may say that this has been a long time coming. yvette cooper says she's also been horrified to hear that some 1000 civil servants had been tasked with working on rwanda, a plan which is now firmly in the bin. a few hundred million along with it. so the government wants to be seen to act on this and also on skills, because it's clearly apparent that, there is a skills shortage in this
