This is just one of many examples where studies prove the idea that the rich leave in droves to flee from a wealth tax is a mere (but persistent) myth (like 'trickle down economics'). It's being repeated every yr, every time someone puts forward the plan. It seems 'logical', but it just isn't true.

And apologies… as has been correctly pointed out… £4- to £7bn is the cost to the Treasury, not the economy… where the cost is far higher, and should include the opportunities lost also… The relentless drumbeat to cut immigration has become a ruinous and dangerous national madness.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.
