I famous this tweet final night time from long-standing right-wing MP John Redwood:

Redwood is improper, in fact. He normally is.

‘We’ won’t must construct two cities the dimensions of Southampton a yr.

Initially, that’s as a result of populations shall be broadly unfold.

Secondly, and quite extra importantly, immigrants invariably come right here to work, and so in impact, they are going to present the useful resource to construct their very own lodging, whether or not immediately or not directly.

The language used is absurd. The concept that there shall be immigrant cities is implied, and that won’t occur. However, extra importantly, to disregard the contribution migrants can (and at all times have) made to the UK financial system is to be intentionally deceptive.

However that’s the manner of the precise.

It’s why they actually can’t be trusted to handle the financial system. In case you can’t consider the implications of actions, you shouldn’t be put in command of managing these actions. Small-minded considering is their Achilles heel.
