It’s v much an older left take on immigration. I mean obviously when you’ve got a higher number of workers (and especially those from more desperate backgrounds) it creates a positive labour supply shock, which does kinda drive down wages (albeit normally also see’s prices fall for consumers)

Pretty sure there’s already a street

Also kinda looks like May will outlast him despite costing her party its majority

Incredible that the gov with a majority of around 150 seems more constrained than Maya gov with its working majority of like 2

Sufficient locations for huge hydro facilities (we don’t) - then the only options available are nuclear or building a huge number of increasingly less productive renewable energy sources.

The wind is blowing heavily for instance you need to either have huge capacity for storage (which is expensive) or shut down turbines (effectively making the turned off ones have a productivity of zero).

So yes, nuclear is more expensive and slow, but it’s also essential. Unless you have
