So actually we don't need to cut immigration to 'wean business off cheap labour' then?
I honestly can't believe we are still having this argument about immigration 5 years on.
Lebowski-
Isn’t the “but” quite important?
The Tory argument is “we need to stop immigration and will be nasty to immigrants, lower immigration will mean better jobs for UK residents (and hence more skills, investment in UK workers)”.
Isn’t he saying “we think migration is part of our national story and don’t agree with the vilification of immigrants. However we do still want more investment in UK workers so businesses should still plan to invest in workers skills and productivity”?
BTW I don’t think we’ll ever stop having discussions about immigration… it’s not 5 years on, it’s been an ongoing theme for over a century
