I’d like to think that’s his way of saying ‘pay better wages’ but I doubt it
lets hope its by providing long term, highly paid, high quality jobs.
​
If not, then its simply not good for the Britain.
Perhaps if starmer would actually support measures to stop rents continuing to spiral, small businesses would have the money to pay their staff properly, and everyones wage would go further instead of being sucked out of the economy by people who’s investment in property contributes nothing to it
As long as he supports free tuition fees to train UK people in the skills we need then fine.
We need to decide. Do we have an unsustainable large population that we can’t support with enough; housing, education, health care and food in our current circumstance, or do we want to import more people so that companies can pay low wages.
Was only a matter of time before starmers labour started subtlety immigrant bashing, they have been headed in that direction for a while now.
This may be a very simplistic view, but from the way I understood it, the reason businesses use migrant workers is because they can exploit them with below minimum wage wages and extra long hours.
So, simple solution would be: Make that practice illegal with an automatic 10+ year jail sentence for all involved, especially those higher up on the food chain like company directors and shareholders who profit from it.
If no incentive to use migrants to profit from them, I seriously doubt anyone would be having the whole migrant issue discussion.
I don’t have any ill feelings towards migrants, the fact is, most of them are doing the jobs most Brits turn their noses up at, and they get exploited for doing it too, the fact that what we class as them being exploited is way better than what they can get back home, that in itself is pretty bad.
But as long as Brit businesses can exploit migrants there will always be a steady supply of them to fill the roles, as our exploitation is not as bad to them as what they have currently where they are.
Hmm, we’re on the cusp of climate change creating millions of refugees from places that are going to become inhabitable.
If you look at what is actually said there, it is a set of conventional UK-style talking points. You have seen this sort of stuff promised, “delivered” and taken credit for by the UK politicians with nothing changing for the best.
Better tell people to start breeding (which is kinda bad for the planet) as we are pushing close to total employment.
Although the recession the Tories are hellbent on making worse will soon solve that
Fruit & veg picking in UK as an example- obviously exploits foreign workers, less and less uk workers won’t do these jobs so where do we go from here?
Very high uk grown food prices do to having to pay full uk wages that we cannot export as price is too high.
Replace uk agriculture with high paying jobs and import all food from elsewhere for less cost than growing it.
I don’t see a way out of this other than being in some kind of single unified market with other European countries, in order to pool resources and goods if only something like that existed.
What is actually behind this: Keir thinking about how he can get back votes from the Brexit ex-Labour.
Want a pension? Gonna need either a massive jump in birth rate or an attractive society and economy for immigrants. I mean… it really is as simple as that….
We’ve had years and years to develop training programmes and very little has been done about the matter. It’s a terrible indictment of the way industries fail to invest in the UK.
