Coming with an anti-immigrant message to a city that is booming because of immigration will be a sight to behold.
@IanDunt so you picked that one interview out of all the many others?

@IanDunt and when Cameron says "swarm"? Does that mean Tories are anti-immigrant too? -
@JuliaHB1 Was important to stamp on that too. Yes they are anti-immigration (at least publicly - privately business-minded Tories quite pro) -
@IanDunt and it's ok that more mass immigration of low skilled workers will hurt the immigrants who are already here more than anyone else -
@JuliaHB1 Academic research shows immigrants tend to increase productivity in sectors they enter, drive up demand & boost GDP by £bns. -
@IanDunt you know there are plenty of reports showing good and bad things. One thing not in doubt is downward effect on low skilled wages. -
@JuliaHB1 Actually that is very much in doubt & vast majority of academic literature points to broad economic benefit -
@JuliaHB1 Simple maths really: We have too many old people. We need influx of young people of working age to pay for their care. - 3 more replies
