Reposted by James LloydThomas I-G @thomasig.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Crazy to think multiple Tory governments promised lower migration but fudged on it at budgets because they wanted more headroom for tax cuts, and now a Labour government desperate for more headroom has cut numbers to their own detriment. 2246
Reposted by James LloydBen Ansell @benansell.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Final point on this. There’s nothing new to HO wanting lower numbers and HMT wanting higher numbers. Was ever thus (eg May vs Osborne). What is more surprising is that Mahmood never gets asked about this and the relative silence of Govt ministers (other than Rayner) on positive side of immigration. 66421
