Arch-Brexiter Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin pushes for work visa for EU pint pullers
Tim Martin, the well-known pro-Brexit businessman and founder of Wetherspoons, has joined forces with industry rivals to advocate for a relaxation of immigration rules in the UK. Martin is calling for the creation of a work visa specifically for European Union (EU) citizens, in a bid to address the shortage of skilled workers in the hospitality sector.
The move comes as the UK grapples with the impact of Brexit on its workforce, particularly in industries heavily reliant on EU workers. Martin's proposal aims to provide a solution that allows EU nationals to continue working in the UK, ensuring the stability and growth of the pub and restaurant industry.
With his influential position in the sector, Tim Martin's support for an EU work visa carries significant weight. As the debate surrounding immigration and Brexit continues, it remains to be seen whether his plea will be heard and acted upon by policymakers.
