@campbellclaret To be fair, the traditional Conservative position was that higher wages/living standards flowed from a strong economy. Now it appears that they believe higher wages will flow from policies that make the economy weaker. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The PM’s argument that lower immigration will result in higher living standards might be good short term politics but is economic nonsense. Could this be the moment when his luck runs out? Me for ⁦@NewStatesman⁩ on Johnson’s gamble. https://t.co/w9VmmageRS — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The argument that the route to greater prosperity is by just paying ourselves more might have been used by 1970s trade union leaders but it is a curious one when deployed by a Conservative Prime Minister. Me for ⁦@NewStatesman⁩. https://t.co/w9VmmageRS — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

If Boris Johnson wants to be judged on attracting business investment, improving productivity and sustainably raising wage growth, he is asking for trouble. Me for ⁦@NewStatesman⁩. https://t.co/w9VmmageRS — PolitiTweet.org

@jdowling77 Yes - mostly passed on to consumers in higher prices. — PolitiTweet.org

@MATruman In the “highly unlikely to be true” sense, yes. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

A sharp contraction in the supply of labour = improved productivity is a bold assumption. Of course, if we care about productivity then removing trade barriers is always a good idea. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, people are getting what they voted for. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether or not people are pro-Starmer, most will be against the people who are against him in the hall. The louts are unintentionally helping him greatly. — PolitiTweet.org

The Far Left are clearly having a lovely time (in an angry kind of way). They're enjoying the Labour conference almost as much as my former colleagues in the Conservative Party. — PolitiTweet.org
