Tories and Labour both faffing about pretending #immigration lowers wages, ~that we can't have high wages without closed borders. Piffle. Low wages are a political choice. UK govt sets the minimum wage. UK govt depresses public sector pay. UK govt limits #TradeUnion action.

UK government cuts health services and leaves people struggling with long covid and mental health issues caused by the stress of poverty, low pay, and bullying at work. UK govt charges people for medication they need to be fit for work, and sanctions people too ill to attend.

UK government underfunds child care so grandparents can't go to work if parents do. UK govt could end all these barriers to a flourishing economy if it invested in a UBI and high public sector wages, and raised the minimum wage to a real living wage. It's not about #immigration.

UK govt fails working class kids, underfunds education, leaves kids starving in the holidays, refuses to pay for the teachers and teaching assistants, levels down those who were already down, charges fees for university, forces students to work moonlight hours.
