In 2013 20% of jobs in key industries were filled by migrants. The number in unskilled jobs is anyone’s guess.
In 2004 there were 5.3m foreign born people in the country. In 2017 there were 9.4m.
My feeling is that a lot of people won’t do certain jobs because they think they’re over qualified due to gaining a degree in some pointless subject. We don’t need thousands of media studies specialists or sports scientists.

There are also a lot of young people without degrees knocking about in jobs they’ll struggle to build a life in.

I don’t know if lorry driving etc is today’s equivalent of telephone media sales of 10-20 years ago but something is going wrong.

This is it. MPs currently voting on May's deal.

A close loss and could be MV4 next week.

If it gets hammered, it could finally be dead, and no brexit gets more likely, along with a general election.

If it passes, we are leaving the EU on May 22nd.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

It seems obvious and both side will most likely agree that EU`s decision or actions below (which was voted by UK officials) is not granted by UK citizens mostly who are impacted from these decisions.

1) 2004 expansion (which i clearly remember that i was surprised about it)
2) Mind-set of spreading job / vacancies across continent (X country will do this, Y country will do that) which is main motivation of free movement.

These decisions and actions were binding the governments to offer new opportunities or standards to their own citizens (within or out of UK) but seems like it was missed and i am not confident that EU membership is a key barrier for this failure.

My view is that as i position governments to be primary responsible of these side affects, they are supposed to address this. Thus, i personally don`t see EU as a primary reason of these negative impacts because UK governments:

- Voted for 2 strategies above
- Not offered a solution during transition period (2004-2016)
- Not offered how they will sort it out after 2016

15 years data for 3 different phases is enough to be a bit pessimistic to expect them to address these issues even if there is Brexit or no Brexit.

The threw everything at it, every trick, removed the political declaration, made promises about promotions and resignations. They would probably feel better if they lost by 20, but turning almost 60 around at this stage is probably impossible.

May's deal surely is toast by now.

Now a general election is much more likely, and the end of May's political career now is nigh.

That’s it as it stands. I don’t know about anything being likely these days.

I agree with all of this,May may as well turn off the lights in Downing street and leave quietly.

General election is surely just around the corner.
