This is the understory behind the record levels of employment message that the Tories are keen to promote. Record levels of employment are great, don't get me wrong, but are only part of the picture.

Lazy analysis.

That is wages on real terms after factoring in inflation etc (albeit thats fairly limited.) Would suggest most jobs created have been low-skilled, low paid, whereas the high skilled, high paid have remained flat or stripped out - redundancies everywhere.

Factor in much lower bonuses for those in the corporate world (you may not like it but that generates a substantial amount of cash for the calculation + tax income for the government) and there you have it.

Poland and Germany have the highest growth, what a surprise that is!

Lets not forget that alot of EU work in the UK has involved bringing in workers from Poland and alot of specialists from Germany, this graph does not surprise me one bit!

Another big reason is employers.

Employers know that jobs are not as ready available as they were x amount of years ago hence they take advantage of paying less wages.

It is a simple case of greed. The rich are getting greedier and the rest of us are fighting for the scraps they are willing to give out.

"Far from retreating into isolation, the UK economy now looks more open than ever. It is gradually dawning on all but the most stubborn in the Remain camp that the world still wants to do business with an independent UK – and that, freed from having to tag along with EU trade deals, this country is now able to negotiate mutually favourable arrangements with fast-growing economies such as India and China. Meanwhile, the EU’s problems continue. Standard and Poor’s, one of the world’s top credit ratings agencies, warned recently that the EU is ‘unsustainable in its current form’.

This is precisely the concern that persuaded 52 per cent of Brits that our long-term future is best served outside the EU. Nobody doubted that economic turbulence would follow, but the case for optimism far outweighs the case for pessimism. Brexit is neither an economic drag nor a stimulus: it is simply the removal of a constraint. What Britain now goes on to achieve depends entirely on the vision and ambition of those in power. Politicians and businesses should snap out of their sulk, and see Brexit for what it is: the greatest opportunity ever handed to a government by an electorate." The Spectator

Spot on.

We need a French company EDF (which is 85% owned by the French government) and French workers to build Hinkley point nuclear power station for us so it seems we do need Europe after all.

You make the same mistake many do and confuse Europe with the EU.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

And an entirely predictable opinion from the Spectator.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

As a country we have to take responsibility for our own energy policy and supply and stop trying to refinance ailing foreign companies and the Chinese national government .

We should make and keep our own state energy assets - every project in the pipeline consists of give payouts to private companies that will be passed on to the consumer. Isn't energy expensive enough now???

I would rather have a UK Company making small Modular Reactors than that EDF disaster any day of the week.
Only a UK Government could think that the £20Billion untested, never got working Reactor and £95/KWH is a good idea.
But then again they think that £155/KWh for offshore Wind is OK too.
If we must buy abroad then the South Koreans, Japanese and Russians would be a better financial and safety bet than EDF.
