We do have a labour force shortage at present, which means we need to train our own people up in those areas so that they can replace those who have left, hopefully paying them more as well (which comes from the labour shortage, exactly as Brexiteers planned). At the same time, we need to stop people taking advantage of our generous benefits system.
Clearly, if we still have a shortage in any specific areas, we then need to open the way to foreigners with those skills to come into this country.
There has been a deliberate false message being passed around by remainers, the Opposition parties and the bleeding heart liberals that Brexiteers wanted to stop migration due to racial prejudice. This is not so. Brexiteers were merely asking for control of immigration to the levels this country can cope with.

Then what do you have to say to George Eustice’s plan for blanket work visas for under 35s, regardless of what skills someone has? Unfettered freedom of movement to drive down working conditions and living standards for hard working Brits?
I trust you will show objectivity and condemn this proposal for not being consistent with our Brexit ambition.
They’re playing you for a mug, OB.
Where is the plan to reduce this migration considering we are rubber stamping an eye-watering one million migrants PER YEAR!
This country is supposedly at breaking point, and the Tories aren’t going to do a thing as long as the gravy train keeps flowing for their donors.

You know perfectly well that we need the legal change put in place before we can deal with the people smugglers in a more effective way.

That would be the migration bill that is illegal. They can engineer all kids of grievance that mugs will lap up blaming lawyers and judges for actually upholding the law by blocking it.
The proposals, even if they were legal, only apply to those who are here and get caught. It does nothing to stop boats.
