Linda – What evidence do you have that UK people do not get the jobs?

Migration has gone down dramatically in the last two years because immigrants can’t get jobs either.

The biggest issue is that the jobs jobs jobs that are supposedly being created do not go to UK people under the present structures. The one area where there is urgent investment going in, and indeed one that Ed Milliband has very definitively claimed as a job creation area, that is ‘energy’, is a work area most drastically affected by structures that allow all jobs to go to foreign labour.

I really don’t see the point of these discussions, when a core issue, on which all the rest of it rests, is evaded.

Government revenue increased from 2003 to 2008 because the government increased its tax take through increases mostly in indirect taxes, but also increases in NI and income/corporation tax. The problem is that private sector activity has been declining since around 2003. Subtracting government consumption and transfer payments from total GDP and adjusting for inflation, the rest of the economy is at about 75% of its 2003 value in inflation adjusted terms.
