I cannot tell if he has done so or if the Brexit vote has given Labour the gift of his ouster in time.

Because EU workers are underrepresented in high-paying graduate jobs, a lower share of those who are already living in the UK are working in jobs that meet the occupation and salary thresholds described in this report, compared to the average across the UK labour market. In 2015, 19% of people born in EU countries and working as employees in the UK were in a skilled job earning more than £20,000. Many of these people had been living in the UK for several years and thus may have different skills and experience compared to people who are newly arriving. They have also had longer to enter skilled employment. The share of newly arriving EU born workers who had arrived in the UK in 2010 or afterwards and who were in graduate jobs earning £20,000 or more was lower, at 12%."Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445772572707818311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-334175094568991062016-06-21T03:19:48.648-07:002016-06-21T03:19:48.648-07:00Ahh, the clever politics argument.

The reality however, if these leaders truly believe this, they best act like leaders and come out and argue to the fence sitters the benefits of these actions, otherwise it won't happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-44474574108797826282016-06-21T02:45:28.018-07:002016-06-21T02:45:28.018-07:00No. Corbyn is mostly probably secretly hoping for ...No. Corbyn is mostly probably secretly hoping for a Brexit. He's just taking the Donald Trump approach of saying what he needs to in order to further career. His saying that there are no limits to immigration in the EU is clever politics. It tells voters that there are no border controls in the EU, and those pro-EU advocates who say that Britain can control its borders inside are wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
