      The additional immigrants will be needed to staff the booming jam, tea and biscuit export sectors.

        He's not interested in a numbers game. These numbers include:
        Parliamentary Majority of 2
        £39bn in pre-agreed funding
        £350million a week to fund the NHS and other things
        99 days to the current Brexit day
        £61k the amount that Vote Leave had to pay for breaking electoral law
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          The target was always a toxic policy and a figure that could never be met. Dropping it is a sensible approach. I await to see what it's replaced with.

              That's not what I said and you know it. Unlimited immigration is not the way forward.

              I do think that May, in her time as Home Secretary which continued while PM, put in place some horribly toxic policies when there is a better way to manage how we import the skills we need without detriment to the local workforce.

                unfortunately after decades of failing to manage migration we need id cards but no one has the guts to do that.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    This may come as a shock to you, so do sit down:

                    IT is not the centre of the world. A handy component, yes, but not the be all and end all.
