Despite the rhetoric on immigration, the UK is highly dependent on working migrants;

But are these jobs are being 'stolen' from UK workers (as the anti-migration rhotic has it) or do they allow the UK to maintain a workforce that responds to an ageing population (& more problematically, a dependence on low-wage work).

For Labour policy, it may be difficult to keep economic activity going & crack down on net migration!

A shift away from anti-migrant rhetoric would be good!

Immigrants languishing in hotels at the tax payers expense are an economic burden to the #UK.

The Uk is not against low numbers selective #immigration. We are against a #massimmigration

Dont know what politians says about it, but it probably rhymes with the "UN replacement Migration white paper"

#UK is not sovereign

The Reform UK D.O.G.E. will inevitability facilitate the ability of [former] civil servants and academics spend some time outdoors on bicycles, delivering Sweet & Sour pork balls via app.
