Tories get no credit from me.
It still means that 900,000 immigrated to this country. It's a big improvement but only because the previous numbers were appalling. It still went up 200,000.
I have asked this question before I genuinely do not know the answer.
How do the numbers break down by socio economic ratings
How may AB (Higher & intermediate managerial, administrative, professional occupations) left this country versus immigrated here. Is there an imbalance?
Are we losing skilled workers to be replaced by unskilled?
It's not just the raw numbers it's also about the quality. AB people will not be claiming benefits where as DE people almost certainly will
