    But business groups said more needed to be done to get more people into work amid concerns over the UK’s long-term weak economic growth.

    Hmmm. Maybe better pay, better conditions and improvements to our work/life balance could do the trick here…nah it’s the workers who are lazy.

      No, no, no. Immigration!

      It’s cheap for companies as they will work for less, they don’t complain because they need to work for the visa, no need to train anyone, if anyone else complains can just sack them and get more immigrants.

      What’s not to like?
