You're making my point for me. We can't return unlawful migrants anymore because of Brexit. I shared the legislation which we previously used.

It getting worse, we don’t need immigration for growth, and immigration has not provided any growth.
For growth you need lower taxes on businesses, less regulation on development and cheap energy………none of which we have now.

The GFC certainly gave us a hammering which has taken a long time to recover from. There has been growth though.
We'd all like lower taxes on everything but someone has to pay the bills but politicians being honest and asking taxpayers to stump on don't tend to get elected.
On planning, the current government at least is easing up development restrictions as we've seen with its support for airport expansion.
Energy prices were hammered by the Ukraine invasion but as we become more energy independent through renewables, nuclear and better storage facilities, it should start to come down. Joining the EU energy trading arrangements would help here too.
