Is a 10% trim all that's needed to solve Britain's debt problem?

Journalist @RossjournoClark thinks that's the way we balance the books.

We took @mrcharlesamos, our dapper libertarian correspondent, to the Battle of Ideas in Westminster to ask the big questions.

The answers didn't disappoint.

[Invert @WatchInvert]

We put a socialist @Stsantek and a libertarian @mrcharlesamos in a room together to see if they could find any common ground reacting to recent viral videos.

Would they agree that we should leave capitalism behind for a life of growing fruit and vegetables?

[Invert @WatchInvert]

We sent Britain’s best-dressed libertarian Charles Amos to the Battle of Ideas in Westminster to ask the big questions and, safe to say, we got some blunt answers:

-Are boomers ripping off Gen Z?
-Is Britain a good place to start a business?
-What’s one thing the government should stop doing?

Which view do you agree with?

Of 2.8 million jobs added to UK payroll in the last decade, 2.3 million went to migrants.

Economist Hubert Kucharski’s research shows that for every 10 of those jobs, four replaced natives who moved out of the area and six were new.

UK employers are leaning more on foreign labour as the economy shifts toward lower-skill sectors.

Has immigration made life better or worse for 21-year-olds?

It depends on who you are.

Gen-Z economist @HM_Kucharski argues that graduates have largely been unaffected.

But those living outside the big cities, who never went to university, are being hit by its negative effects.

[Invert @WatchInvert]

Students were sold a deal that doesn't add up, and the public is left paying for a broken system.

The average new borrower leaves university owing around £50,000, and fewer than half are expected to repay in full. And the rest of the bill falls on taxpayers.

Could high immigration explain Britain’s flatlining productivity?

When Polish firms couldn’t rely on cheap labour, they invested in machines instead.

@kafkaswife sat down with economist @HM_Kucharski to unpack the link between immigration and productivity, and what Britain could learn from international examples.

Why is scepticism about migration considered a "low status opinion"?

The costs seem to fall on the lowest paid, while the benefits go to those at the top of the income distribution.

Economist @HM_Kucharski and our host @kafkaswife discuss how you can be well-educated and still have a sceptical view of migration.

Gen-Z economist explains the truth about the economic impacts of migration.

For years we have been told that migration is a panacea, but @HM_Kucharski new research argues there is much more to it.

Talking to @kafkaswife, he argues a lack of understanding of the economic reality has pushed the migration debate towards a focus on cultural issues rather than on its impacts on wages and growth.
