Analysis of Home Office data showed the impact of the shift from EU to non-EU migrants. Migrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey aged 25-64 were almost twice as likely to be economically inactive as someone born in the UK.

Spanish migrants typically earned around 40pc more than migrants from Pakistan or Bangladesh, while migrants from countries such as Canada, Singapore and Australia paid between four and nine times as much income tax as migrants from Somalia or Pakistan.

    Thanks for linking!

    But lol, that is such an obviously biased report with vague eyebrow waving suggestions that immigrants are to blame for everything.

    None of the charts or trends they present are consistent in their effect, haven’t controlled for anything (the major point is lowered GDP per capita while immigration spiked five years ago, but the Brexit drop started well before then, and the exodus of specialist EU-migrants isn’t even mentioned), and don’t actually say anything except look at this red line next to a thing getting worse.

    CPS is why you should view every “Think tank” as a lobbyist organisation, and their materials as sales flyers…
