Never mind we need around at least 100K net immigration to keep the population stable, shrinking populations are historically death of nations stuff afaik. Also pressure on communities has far more to do with mismanagement, no investment and the wrong housing etc than any impact of immigration.
Labour immigration policy explained:
✅ Net immigration rising: CRACKDOWN REQUIRED
✅ Net immigration plummeting: CRACKDOWN REQUIRED
✅ Net immigration rising: CRACKDOWN REQUIRED
✅ Net immigration plummeting: CRACKDOWN REQUIRED

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*.

Here is a demonstration on trusting the govt’s word -

NEW - the government poised to water down flagship workers rights bill, ditching day one rights to unfair dismissal but reducing qualifying period from two years to six months.
But in concession to unions, government will remove provisions for up to nine months probation.

Oh, so it's time to at least quadruple the levy then if it's so affordable and ignorable by them. If they're happy with polluting the environment and killing everyone's future, may as well get the funding for a hospital or two out of the bastards in the mean time.

I say this mostly because Reform and certain journalists friendly to them seem determined to start a “white flight” narrative since net migration has dropped so dramatically.
It’s not true. It’s not even close to true.

The number of British citizens emigrating hasn’t increased, btw. Outward migration is up, but the increase is mostly non-EU migrants leaving the UK.
The methodology counting emigration of British citizens changed in 2021, which increased the number, and it’s been pretty much flat ever since…

So when emigration overtakes immigration and our economy collapses from lack of productivity/demand, adult social care collapses as all the young who can are gone, the NHS collapses because all the doctors and nurses leave etc, will the raging racists finally be happy? No. Well done Lab/Cons.
I'm not sure how much it is appreciated that there will be significant emigration coming. Those here on graduate visas coming to an end, the toughening up of skilled worker rules re. salaries/sponsorable roles and the 'earned settlement' changes to come. Lots of people are going to leave.

Smaller retailers shouldn’t shoulder the cost of age-verification tech — but the tobacco giants making £900m a year with 50% profit margins certainly should. The merchants of death must pay for the harm they cause.

I wouldn’t say my views on tuition fees have *changed* but they have definitely moved from “I hate this proposal but I find some of the arguments for it difficult to rebut” to “this is an outrageous way of permitting age-differentiated taxation that we’d never accept in the other direction”.
I'm constantly shocked (but not surprised) by how little we discuss the additional financial burden placed on young people by the Clegg-Cameron student loan regime.

Continues to be wild to me how few Labour MPs have absorbed that the Starmer-Reeves strategy is, and always has been “Plan A: Somehow the Major economy returned Plan B: Die”.
The tax rises in this Budget’s are backloaded.
They're largely kick in in what is likely to be a pre-election year, somewhat implausibly.
