Tens of thousands of people have urged the UK government to apologise, reinstate, and compensate care workers who were forced out of their jobs by a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, according to campaign group Together.

By Friday, more than 23,000 people had signed a petition published by the group on Monday, calling on Prime Minister Liz Truss and Health Secretary Thérèse Coffey to reconcile with the approximately 40,000 social care workers who lost their jobs after refusing to take the jabs.
