It is obvious to all that immigration from mutiple world countries has been essential to the UK economy and much else.
Most people would agree that free -movement from the entire world is not a good idea.
So Post Brexit some form of rules/restrictions on work/settlement etc. as happens in most of the countries of the world is necessary.
Post Brexit this can be flexible--according to need and the rules are not fixed but can be changed.

In fact, Britain could really benefit from acknowledging reality at the moment. But that wouldn't be very British, would it?
In the mean time, life in the EU isn't particularly intolerable. In fact, it's improving steadily. Pity the same can't be said for Britain.

I doubt a party leader would make unsubstantiated allegations against another, it'd be political suicide.
Yes, we know the PM's 'spokesperson' has denied the allegations, but May's motive for doing so is not hard to fathom...

Given the rise in real wages elsewhere compared to the UK being just one factor.

Most reports go by reported headline statistics, but few choose to wade through the actual data to check whether the headlines are valid - and, as we all know, it's all about the interpretation.
