The supply side measures to open up the labour market to more foreign workers won't prove popular with the Brexity wing of the party and those in red wall seats but do have economic logic if you're increasing spending.

Good point Andrew. I myself have previously complained about the number of EU workers coming to the UK. Now that they aren't here, it's clear that we needed them.
I think that a lot of the resentment was caused by not enough housing, education places, healthcare etc being increased to cope with them and UK nationals feeling that they were losing out.
Some hospitality venues are having to temporarily close at times because there simply isn't enough staff which, apart from anything else, cannot be good for the economy.
