The Importance of Training British Workers

Suella Braverman said we need to train fruit pickers. The problem is that in Lincolnshire or wherever it happens to be, you can't find anyone who is British who will do that work. And therefore, if you want to get this stuff off the trees and onto the ground, you need to bring people into the country to get it done. That is what is generating economic growth. It's the great myth of Brexit that suddenly there would be British jobs for British workers because happy British workers would be in the fields picking vegetables. There are British jobs, but there aren't actually the British workers.
