Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms.
Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate.
We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

Green Party (of England & Wales) membership stood at around 68,000 when @ZackPolanski became leader & in not even 3 months, the party’s membership has increased by over 100,000 people!

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Britain claiming its border security is under threat after threatening the border security of practically every country to have ever existed is a dog whistle and a distraction.
Those with a fraction of your political rights are not the enemy, it’s the ones manipulating you into thinking so.
