The most astonishing part of this. Starmer still avoids to talk about Brexit as one of the main factors why growth has stalled.
Instead he claims immigrants aren’t ‚necessarily’ contributing to growth. Which is true. But also dishonest when he omits other factors. Incredibly depressing morning.

Robert Peston, "Haven't you shot yourself in the foot by saying those who want to be citizens have to live here twice as long, as those who want to be American citizens?"
Keir Starmer ignores this saying higher migration doesn't lead to higher growth

Das ist so ein harter griff ins klo, der schon von ganz vielen anderen in der EU gemacht wurde.
Niemand hat damit irgendwas gewonnen.
They are killing the cow instead of milking it. Every time.
And so has happened.
Since Brexit, Britain has regained the liberty to decide which European and non-European immigrants to accept.
And we expected to be respected and treated as ordinary humans.
Didn't go down well in England.
Fortunately for me, since Brexit, I now have a passport which enables me to do so with minimum inconvenience.
The question is, would I be better off not waiting for a Farage government before doing so.
A lot more people would be on board with this ⬇️ than he thinks.

Advisors like MAGA fanboy Glassman and Starmer's chief of staff McSweeney are behind this.
My daughter & friends just finishing 2nd year of degrees
Over half intend to pursue opportunities overseas (mainly EU but S America, OZ, NZ, China) as they don’t see a future here
All cite failure of Brexit as part of reasons but also political rhetoric from all parties
He needs to get out on the doorstep himself & listen to what people really want
Farage uses immigrants to mask what’s really going on. It’s not the immigrants that have made us poorer
Change? What change? Very little that’s good- that’s for sure. Most of the “change” has not filtered through to the average pers.
On top of that we have cuts in WFA, a 2 child cap and proposed cuts for disabled ppl
Now every labour voter should look towards green, libdem or whatever party or group Corbyn runs.
