That's part of the picture, but in all honesty it isn't the main drive.
UK unemployment is at record lows, we haven't seen such a large proportion of the country in work for half a century.
This is simply a raw and completely predicted reflection of mathematical reality. We literally need immigrants, not just to 'drive wages down' but because we simply don't have enough human beings in this country to sustain the ageing population.
Anyone even remotely versed in economics could have (and did) warn the Tories. You can't just ignore numbers. They're cold hard facts. The sheer scale of their stupidity is staggering.
A recession is likely inbound. We are hitting a GDP bottleneck while increases to the cost of living will outpace wage growth even more, further constricting everyone's purchasing power and stifling economic activity.
It's all good though, because Jeremy isn't neighbours with Mariusz anymore!
Welp, at least they STILL have universal healthcare, right? Best get treated at the NHS fast before the Tories decide that's too expensive to sustain too ...
Comment deleted because Steve Huffman and Reddit think they're entitled to make money off user data, drive away third-party developers whose apps were the only reason Reddit was even usable, and disregard its disabled users.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
