It’s not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration is unsustainable.
I voted and campaigned for Brexit because I wanted Britain to control migration.
So that we all have a say on what works for our country. High-skilled workers support economic growth. Fact.
But we need to get overall immigration numbers down. And we mustn’t forget how to do things for ourselves.
There is no good reason why we can’t train up enough HGV drivers, butchers or fruit pickers.
Brexit enables us to build a high-skilled, high wage economy that is less dependent on low-skilled foreign labour. That was our 2019 manifesto pledge and what we must deliver.
