… and the problem is that real earnings from the bottom have stagnated. I don’t understand why this is overlooked in the pensions debate. Real earnings have fallen so real spending has fallen so real taxation has fallen or has to rise.

Which part of the graph is the shocking part? The net overall increase? Or the flatline of EU vs increase of non-EU? If the latter, do the Tory voters care where the increase is coming from?
I feel that migration graph is a bit short of data. It starts at the beginning of the Covid crisis so there is no indication of whether it is a return to long term trends or not. It also doesn’t indicate on whether that is long or short term migration. It could be permanent residency, family reunion or short term contracts.If it’s the latter, has this replaced transitory workers from the EU or not.

The link through to the ONS website also points out that they have changed their methodology which is why it accounts for the short period of the original graph.
