My view is that gets stopped.»<br /><br />The UK supranational state has free movement, and nothing prevents northern immigrants from flooding the job markets of the south-east and depressing wages there. Perhaps the workers of the Home Counties should take control of their borders by exiting the UK to prevent the northeners from stealing their jobs thanks to free movement.<br /><br />But the level of wages and immigration depends on who has the most power, employers or native workers, rather than on being part or not of a free movement area, whether it be the UK+Eire or the EU.<br /><br />Indeed since June 2016 the total net immigration to the UK supranational state has sliogthtly increased, as while EU immigration has fallen, third world immigration has surged.

So to meet demand either imports increase as you say, or firms increase productivity. some evidence of that was starting to occur as firms prepared for immigration controls by investing in machinery.<br /><br />Anyway, les make a note to return in Q3/4 and see how the post-Covid/Brexit boom is unfolding.Dippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-17475543496093827892020-12-28T22:30:12.471+00:002020-12-28T22:30:12.471+00:00It is "unfortunate" that there are peopl...It is "unfortunate" that there are people like "David Timoney" and "Graham" who have realistic insights in the situation, it would be so nice to be able to wear rose tinted spectacles...Blissexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-25278211885923505492020-12-28T19:34:48.192+00:002020-12-28T19:34:48.192+00:00There are 15 million people either over 65 or clin...There are 15 million people either over 65 or clinically vunerable.<br />Even if the target of a million vaccinations a week is achieved and only one dose is given as opposed to the two for which the approval was made, this would take until mid April. <br />The denial of this reality that talk of February involves is spectacular even by the statndards of the Tories we have had to endure during this year.<br /><br />Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-90337782489232111352020-12-28T19:13:40.848+00:002020-12-28T19:13:40.848+00:00Dipper, inflation is no longer a national economy ...Dipper, inflation is no longer a national economy problem. Low inflation is now primarily a factor of the global economy: secular stagnation, expanded labour markets & the savings glut.<br /><br />There will be a post-Covid bounce in consumption, but in the case of the UK that is likely to disproportionately boost imports, leading to balance of payments pressure & a fall in the pound. There will be no discernible Brexit bonus (a US trade deal is years away), though equally the drag on manufacturing exports will take a long time to show (& will be offset for a while by the pound's decline).<br /><br />UK wages are unlikely to rise in 2021 because there is already plenty of slack in the labour market, i.e. underemployment rather than unemployment. Wages won't rise until productivity does, & that looks a long way off at the moment.David Timoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568348438980023320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-31973567187346294812020-12-28T18:25:14.114+00:002020-12-28T18:25:14.114+00:00Okay waiting for all the wages to go up.
