CllrBSilvester Absolutely. The working class voted, quite literally in some cases, to improve their own life. The fbpe lot show them no inclusion, empathy or tolerance, they just call them racist, bigots, xenophobic with “no information”.
teddyhuggy Supply and demand deniers are like flat earthers, ShelaghFogarty claims because landlords and businesses benefit (Middle Class) that its a net benefit for everybody, its just not true, in fact its a nasty lie from those who dont really care about the working class.
CllrBSilvester Every public service in the country is in dire straits we need a lot of money from somewhere ?...
Interesting. Some people suggesting that the most basic laws of economics must be sacrificed in the name of virtue.
boblister_poole Ho dear poor Boris as become a former
What is the total contribution to the GDP of that 'pool'? 1.5% - read ONE POINT FIVE PERCENT....For anyone with a bit of brain and an idea of maths, the pressure on wages in ZERO, NIL, ZILCH.
boblister_poole Eventually, perhaps. I am not going to hold my breath...
Sensible Boris but his pitch for leadership will not work.
All the things UKIP said and what Labour should have said!!
If you think they’re not driving wages down, just go onto any building site and count how many British born workers there are. You won’t need both hands.
Can we hold you that statement at least (filing this Tweet for posterity), unlike some of those you have made in the past, but now deny (Turkey? NHS and £350m?) BorisJohnson
And just who could believe this low life charlatan.
Another f**ck business piece of economic ignorance from the politician hoping to lead the remnants of Tory MPs post Brexit, if any!
Exactly
He says 'He didn't say anything about Turkey' during Leave campaign, so we should definitely take anything he says with a pinch of bullshit.
Of course many of these corporations are European & thanks to Thatcher dismantling our industries theres not much here
There are elements of truth in that. I know many Maritime corporations wont employ British when they have Polish & indonesians who work for less. So many people i know cabt find work for this reason
milelongbeard When one considers how money is created [from fresh air when loans are made] and we have 20m Economically Inactive [can't get a loan] One can see why we need new borrowers, sorry, Immigrants. UK GDP has risen and EU fallen, as more and more come here from EU? DEBT Slavery,
oflynnmep This is not new this has been the case since 2005 and now the minimum wage has become the maximum wage for a huge number of people Having vast amounts of cheap labour has stopped big business from having to compete for the people they need with competitive wage increases
delusional no evidence
Corporations will always maximize profits. Cheaper labour raw materials energy or lower taxes will always draw money.
Stanley_Walker Which corporation employs the nurses, who are their bosses that took a pay rise but wouldn't give nurses and other public sector workers one . So when we leave UK on 29th they're going to get a good pay rise, Boris says so.
Clearly he doesn’t grasp businesses need to have a reason to even have employees in the first place. Losing access to a 300m people market is not a very good reason to keep a car plant in UK compared to Germany or Austria.Boris is using the same Hitler type lies as with the vote.
Boris we don’t believe u
Or the big companies just move abroad because of Brexit. Companies already are moving to Ireland to avoid Brexit Not sure the argument has any substance.
More lies.
shakesheave The government has to get rid of ZHC and self employed crap!
This man is a moron. And if you believe him, you're a moron too. Big corporations have unlimited access to cheap labour pools across the globe. The fact that trade unions, labour laws, and workers are restricted by borders, yet corporations are not, is what has driven wages down.
slimbad92 Most people just want a decent living wage. You know, the kind where you can actually afford a house, keep a family etc. It takes two wages earners now, government encourage women to get back to work after having children but then childcare is expensive. Where is the incentive
Has also fueled the explosion of hand car washes and pop-up brothels, not to mention city center begging.
I used to think I saw the light of inspiration in the eyes of Boris, now I realise it was just the sun shining through the back of his head
Leavers_Britain Son in law plasterer this has happened to him .
🤣🤣🤣
RogerHelmerMEP Boris for pm - mogg for chancellor Independence for UK
He is stupid then he looks
Is anybody actually foolish enough to believe this odious man
Leavers_Britain Disingenuous. The thing that holds wages down is competition from other countries. If we cannot match that the business will go elsewhere. The ability to keep costs down is part of our competitive edge.
And make us uncompetitive in a global market leading to business closures and job losses.
Glad you have got your voice back Borisjohnson
Two words, the last one is wit.
I wish you’d sit on it Boris rather than continually talking out of it
A simpleton argument in which the simpletons will lap it up. Just like they did with the £350 million a week for the NHS.
with 18m EU Jobless,it’s clear why CBItweets,The_IoD so keen to keep Freedom of Movement to maintain low wages to them & Brit Co Workers of course
Boris needs to stop. JustStop
neen987654321 Well he's right isn't he
Non EU migration has been at least twice that from EU for many decades. So if you're blaming the EU, your argument is invalid.
It’s already happening
Yes just walked away from b&q distribution centre. H&s risk due to number of immigrants not speaking English.
oflynnmep And the former foreign secretary is spot on!!
Good job he was never Chancellor then.
oflynnmep Absolutely. This has been apparent for ages to the ordinary working man. This is one of the reasons big corporations do not want Brexit.
Two words: MInimum. Wage.
What a nonsense he should not be allowed in politics getting as bad as Trump
It’s amazing the amount of comments on here that think holding inflation is justified for allowing cheap labour in this country, keeping people in a poor standard of living. I suppose it’s a case of “I’m alright Jack”
The dummy strikes again
Unemployment is only 4% but wages are still low. Unemployment would be high if all the jobs were being taken by outsiders. Low unemployment should cause wages to rise but it hasn’t. Why not?
Spot on low tax , strong economy !! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Can we not have a GE just to unseat this absolute lump of uselessness?
Perhaps Boris Johnson / Sajid Javid can explain why it is that currently cheap foreign labour from outside the EU outstrips migration from within the EU - Why Tories have failed to control non-EU immigration? - How they will control it in future? BrexitVote NoConfidenceVote
What a complete fool Production will relocate from the UK - they will not increase the cost of production Just ask Brexiteer Dyson why he produces overseas
... and evidently Mr. Corbyn agrees that companies 'bring them here in order to dismiss an existing workforce in the construction industry, then pay them low wages. And the only people who benefit are the companies.' ...
oflynnmep This is definitely 100% accurate, isn’t it, jdportes?
Immigrants coming here... stealing our bonuses...grrrrrr....grrrrrrrr
Nothing to do with union workers being blacklisted. It's the foreigners fault for accepting the wages he does (just like their UK counterpart does).
❤️🙏
chocolategilly Hes spot on I have family in the building trade wages have risen since eastern europeans left also plenty of work for those who want it
so it’s foreigners to blame for everything?
Is that both another lie and a bid for the leadership. A representative of the working man? You have to be joking
We are still at risk of this clown becoming our PM. Goodness knows things are challenging enough without the complete humiliation of being a citizen of a country being run by Boris bloody Johnson. Dark dark decades to come.
Wages are now rising faster than inflation
And the streets of London are paved with gold
Once again Boris the buffoon demonstrates a complete absence of any economic ability whatsoever. Why Boris Johnson is still so popular with a section of the masses is because he tells them what they want to hear - just like Adolf Hitler did in 1920’s Germany and by 1933 he was in
Gosh, so Boris is a socialist now? Didn't see that coming.
Let's all hold him to this promise then
The company I work for stopped apprenticeships for young people due to the influx of European workers.
What are the people who’s jobs are being taken by cheap imported labour currently doing
Still in the snakeoil business then, Boris?
Sure, trust someone who lied about tons of benefits Brexit can bring us in the first?
...so when we leave the eu...and leave behind all the workers/human rights ...that were so overdue...things will get better for us commoners?...you have to be fucking joking...£5 an hour for a sixty hour week with no sick pay...that's what Boris would want...
More simplistic dangerous nonsense from one who has hardly done a proper job in his life.
10 years after the 1979 Budget Thatcher experimented with the ERM locking the rate £ to the DM as a precursor for our adopting the Euro. It failed & cost the Treasury £ billions 7 made Soros a fortune. UK Property prices slumped putting house owners in Negative Equity
If Britain learns anything from Brexit, it should be that politicians are after all politicians and their agenda very rarely has the greater good in mind, politicians first and always look to themselves first and if by chance it benefits others, happy days
And lead to inflation, don’t forget the inflation. Also deny opportunities to hundreds of thousands of people who are poorer than we are. Plus UK people are too good to do a lot of these jobs. So, lose lose really. Well done Boris.
Yes Boris. But it was deliberate Policy when Major, knowingly signed Maastricht, giving Free Access to EU Citizens to come Live, Work & Vote here? Thatchers 1979 Budget Scrapped Exchange Rate controls allowing unlimited Foreign Money into the UK. They bought UK Land hiking prices
It’s because of the repeated lies and false promises of money from people like him the country is in the mess it is
Why do people still listen to this person?
He is blustering - I think most people know now that he doesn't have a clue about what he is talking about and is a bit of a coward at the end of the day because he didn't sieze his opportunity to be leader. He is a dead dog I reckon - 'an Oxfam bag ripped open by a fox' M Hyde.
What utter shit from a man that's achieved nothing & been fired from most of his jobs
There is always a massive gulf between Boris’ actions and the drivel he spouts...
It's clear BorisJohnson is doing nothing more than further groundwork in preparation for a bid to become leader of whatever is left of the Conservatives
Yep ‘labour migration’ is the problem, not greedy corporations and dismal labour regulation 🙄
So that will be on the side of the bus for the peoplesvote then.
Wages are held down because of unscrupulous capitalists. People like Boris. People who wouldn’t even pay the minimum wage unless it was legally required of them.
Compelling proof that Bunter has never studied economics or run a business.
The all world is in trouble only God we set us free from this Amen
I'd love to see that bastards' calculations. Would you like to publish them?
Ah Boris Still peddling 🦄💩 14/6/2016 Daily Telegraph “Johnson and Gove, the two leading figures in the Leave campaign, have drawn up a blueprint for implementing a Brexit. Sensibly, it calls for flexibility and a period of reflection”
Everyone should remind themselves of just who Boris is... “Bullingdon boy Alexander ‘Boris’ de Pfeffel Johnson is a Neo-Colonial, philandering flounderer. He’s a serial liar and cheat, a racist and homophobe.”
BorisJohnson repeats the lie of low paid immigrant workers, admits UK corporations are greedy & selfish, says they should be taxed at much higher rates, face jail for cutting wages & conditions
He’s just a low grade British Donald Trump but without the robot for a a wife
Ha. Why did you quickly change your tag-line?
No. It really, really can’t.
There is absolutely no evidence of that. It is as though Johnson will say anything to further his own cause. Facts don't seem to come into it. Feels like he is starting his campaign for second referendum with the same disregard for the facts as the first. Leave 2 lies 2?
Also employers will need to invest in automation.
This is already happening.
No lies detected.
