Can you fully automate strawberry picking? Or care home work?

Don't think that the robots are that good or cheap enough yet.

One half of the population will eventually be employed to look after the half.

Even by the Telegraph's rabid right-wing standards this an absolute brammer of a piece.  For 'ever-so-patient Lord Frost' read 'aggressively obdurate and bone-headed', whilst that 'tragic period of weakness in British politics' was on reflection demonstrably an accurate portent of the shitfest which is now unfolding by the day.  And if 'no self-respecting nation would ever regard an unequal treaty as a settled matter' why would the UK Prime Minister not then pursue a just settlement instead of expediently and duplicitiously signing it in order to indulge his own timeline and catchphrase ? 

'Jingoistic' doesn't do it justice; I suspect the laptop was bouncing on the writer's lap as he typed it.

You are talking about production switching from the UK to the EU so that obviously leads to increased transport mileage.
There is zero chance of fields in the UK being left fallow to import  crops from Europe or beyond. Farmers may bluff for a year or two to try and try to force the government's hand on immigration but long term they need to produce. 
I don't think we are heading towards a golden age for agricultural workers but it should be an improvement on the EU era which was exploitative, cruel and completely unsustainable. Everyone who defends the 2015 status quo is very much telling on themselves. 
 

You are deluded. It's migrant workers or no workers in these industries. I'm interested to know how much you think they would need to raise wages to in order to fill all their vacancies with Brit workers ?

It's not just agriculture. See hospitality which relies on EU labour not just to staff the establishments but to harvest the stuff to supply the establishments oh and the folk to deliver the stuff to the establishments. 

In 2019 83% of EU migrants of working age living in the UK were employed,compared to 76% of UK born, we had about 3/4 of a million job vacancies in the UK, yet we had 2.3million EU nationals working in the UK. So unless every unemployed person was prepared to take on three jobs that Johnny Foreigner was doing. I suggest we're a wee bit goosed.

It's how the right wing works these days, isn't it ? 

Constantly fighting wars....against the EU, against 'woke', against 'cancel culture'....distracts people from the chaos of a government that is unfit to govern. 

It's an ideology, it's populism, and it's powerful enough to keep the Tories in power and allow them to do the bidding of billionaire media barons, and the rest of their supporters.

one of the replies to this tweet sums it up quite neatly

 

 

Just like two months ago, more extremely concerning issues with my MS medication, manufactured in the Netherlands. Supply is extremely scarce. This is the reality now. Nothing is improving and worse still, no effort is being made to improve things.

Here's Frost more or less firing the gun on a trade war with the EU. 

This country is fucked.

Can someone please clarify. Is Frost one of these unelected bureaucrats that Brexit was all about removing from the UK decision making process?

Nah, because he was born in Derby and went to Oxford. Those kind of unelected bureaucrats are spiffing.

That's a dangerous line to go down as it is reminiscent of arguments made against the Treaty of Verseilles by one Hitler, A.

Given that EU states make their own policies on work/residence permit offers to non-EU nationals, even within the Schengen zone, that wouldn't actually be possible. The source is not a surprise, though.

That would be even more embarrassing in many ways. Imagine if Malta or Cyprus starting poaching British HGV drivers!

The seethe from the usual suspects would be off the scale as former colonies stick the knife in.
