If she earned enough she’d pay that too. It’s only NI that starts at 16

Farage having a meltdown.

No 16 year old is working full time. They have to be in at least some education. Everyone pays taxes, even my 9 year old. There’s no lower age limit.

Not a fan myself and I do suspect Labour wouldn’t be pushing for it if 16/17 year olds were all massive Tories. I’d much rather we rationalised everything else (driving, marriage, school leaving, etc) to 18 than the other way.

As solid an argument against the policy as you’ll find

Giving me Sheaf but with better passing range vibes.

Feeling like a proper transfer window now. Love it.

A foreign news website claiming we’ve signed someone?

My main concern is the economy TBH. We’ve been stagnant since 2008. I’m a techno optimist at heart. I want a high skilled workforce and an economy that encourages innovation. I think housing and infrastructure are holding us back and making us poorer and if we solved them a lot of the problems...

Even Mr Anti-immigration can’t answer who he’d stop coming in so don’t feel bad Mucca

And a lot of them are. There’s absolutely loads of land and we basically have one large city. We could increase density in London alone by a couple of million

Also as for “we can’t build fast enough!!” This is the UK population over the last 150 years or so, it’s basically linear. We’ve handled it before and could again.

Fact is large amounts of it are students and those students pay for our students. Another large chunk are healthcare workers. The idea you can cut immigration significantly and not pay huge costs elsewhere is a fantasy. Do we put up student fees? Pay even more for care? Personally I’d be...

Your main complaint seemed to be that we don’t have the infrastructure for the current immigration numbers. So instead of worrying about 30k people fleeing war why not just stop some of the huge numbers of economic migrants from those countries? Or we can not take the Ukrainians and Hong...

Japan is fucked and hasn’t grown in decades. Australia lets in about the same amount per capita as we do if you exclude Ukraine and Hong Kong. And lots of people call the Australian and Japanese immigration policies far right.
