@zoeathomson4305 I agree it needs lowering but you can't do that without having a grown up conversation on what's driving it. Your cheap Uber is paid for with migration, lack of investment in nurses is paid for with migration even fruit picking if the government invested in automation you'd reduce the need. The elites don't want to pay the taxes that would solve a lot of these issues or even talk about it because it opens a Pandora box that thier economic model that makes them wealthy is a key driver

@nightowl7459 when the problem is amplified by RW economics it will at least get better by shifting to a model that invests in the UK population Why do we import so many nurses simples we don't invest in our own

 @rikmorley1729 that's economic suicide If you want to lower migration increase tax and invest in the domestic population

@nightowl7459 you can automate fruit picking it would need government investment up front but would pay back over time reducing costs. Most farms need temporary accommodation for them. But it's that word again Investment and a long term approach which goes against Conservative economic values

@rikmorley1729 it would take over a decade to reverse economic policies embedded in the system, migration isn't a tap you can turn on and off

If you want to lower migration increase tax and invest in the domestic population What You dont want to increase tax or shut down the massive loopholes and tax breaks for the wealthy Then STFU about immigration because your part of the problem

@nightowl7459 Osborne cut bursaries in 2010 as part of Austerity, all further education should be paid for by the state as far as I'm concerned, its an investment in social infrastructure. Osborne Cameron also refused to regulate gig work or clamp down on low wage zero hour The cost of a cheap Uber is high migration and offshore profits

@nightowl7459 in the example I gave you multi nationals fetched in EU workers on low pay which undercut domestic business not only was it fueling migration it was removing economic activity from the UK economy off shore. I'm retired but do zero hour as an invigilator at school reading for special needs kids. I'd suggest a job has to be certified as casual by a government agency in line with trade union and public representation discussions. And if your doing more than xxx hours over a 6th month period it automatically doesn't qualify. As for seasonal you get a contract for the season.

By investing in renewable energy it onshores jobs, also its harder for companies to then move profits offshore. This has a net benefit to the economy increasing GDP and improves productivity. We currently have an almost tsunami effect of 14 years of Tory government to turn it round takes time and a conversation into what the drivers are as well as the positive and negative long term effects. @nightowl7459

I'm not I'm explaining how economics and lack of regulation drives legal migration. I had a retired friend who was a Taxi driver who went all UKIP over Uber, his livelihood was being taken away from him by a faceless multi national who didn't even pay UK tax. @phYT01

@arfurdaylee legal migration is the result of economic policy it takes years to turn round Ex 4 years to domestically train nurses for example
