“Highly skilled workers support economic growth. True. But we need to reduce overall immigration. And we must not forget how to do things ourselves. There’s no reason why HGV drivers, butchers, and fruit pickers can’t be well trained.
“Brexit will allow us to build a high-skilled, high-wage economy that is not dependent on low-skilled foreign workers. It was a must.”

On Sunday, Energy Secretary Grant Shaps tried to downplay concerns about the net immigration figure, arguing that the number is probably up by 300,000 due to an influx of refugees from Ukraine and Hong Kong.
He told Sky News’ Sophie Ridge on Sunday program:
“These two groups alone number well over 300,000. And of course there are people from Syria and other parts of the world. I’m thinking.”
