Faisal Islam on Channel 4 News

Excellent report by Faisal Islam on Channel 4 News this evening.

How clever to look at printing companies as a barometer of economic activity.

And at a time when UKIP are in the news, how fascinating that GDP per head is down simply because there are more people in the country - it rather blows apart the Jonathan Portes argument that immigration is good for the economy.

And personally I thought Cathy Newman was a bit soft on Ed Balls - she mentioned more people in the country depressing GDP per head but did not ask the obvious follow-up about whether Labour were ready to apologise (properly) for open door immigration.
