Couldn't that be because they haven't had to put up wages because of the abundance of Labour through free movement...... There's always someone willing to fill that gap and do it cheaper

You mean people like Bozza and co?
Didn't know they were foreign? Good old Tories and wage stagnation. I hear inflation could be as much as 6% soon. Oh joy.
Brexit - what a pile of poo.

Funny thing that, knowing people on social media. Someone I know of through social media tells anybody that will listen on a DIY forum he frequents that he's an international mover and shaker who rubs shoulders with world famous musicians, pays more tax than the average person earns, has a £950k pension pot (and rising) and that there isn’t anything he doesn’t know about world politics and international finance. Modesty is his middle name……..

well I don’t like to blow my own trumpet
although I did work for Joan Armatradings next door neighbour
And help Kate Omara measure up for new curtains
but immigration doesn’t lower wages….apart from overpaid plumbers
No, the effect of immigrant workers has not held wages down.
You need to look nearer home.
Who sets labour laws, worker protection, minimum wage, working hours, the tax regime?
and implements laws allowing profits to be syphoned out of the country into offshore tax havens?
Any trade that has more tradesmen than the market needs will lower wages no matter where they come from. The opposite applies when there is a shortage. It’s known as the rule of supply and demand.
There are lots and lots of people who want to be MPs. An enormous oversupply.
How much has MPs pay dropped in the last ten years?
The country has a chronic shortage of nurses.
How much has nurses pay risen in the last ten years?
Apples and pears. Mottie alludes to a free market. The public sector... ain't.
Not a lot I’d imagine. Doesn’t matter if there are thousands of people who want to be an MP, their numbers are strictly limited to 650. You’ll never get a glut of them. Oh, that and the fact that they vote how much they get paid…..

I've noticed my money go up this Financial year.... I think Immigration has alot to do with wages...
Out of interest why are Tesco offering £1000 for drivers to sign up with them ?

John .... I get what your saying but they are two opposite ends of the scale.. Do you really believe cheap labour from Eastern Europe has no bearing on wage stagnation?
Tory voter
you would think that
evidence says otherwise
"Empirical research on the labour market effects of immigration in the UK suggests that immigration has relatively small effects on average wages, with negative effects on low-paid workers and positive effects on high-paid workers."

Ive posted the evidence many times -but you arent interested in actual facts.
And yes I do know it had an effect on some sectors of construction, mostly in the city.
