My point about immigration is it is linked to the economic growth and investment growth you need to increase revenue while cutting taxes. GDP is linked to population; more people more stuff, more taxes. If you want greater revenue through lower taxes to stimulate more growth, you have to accept...
But your argument his hypothetical that the growth in GDP between 2011/12 to now was due to tax cuts. If that growth would have occurred anyway, because we're a fantastic place to invest etc. then the tax revenue would have been far higher had a higher rate of tax been maintained. You cannot...

I do find this notion this great country of ours that will fight its way through Brexit would sit on its arse at the first opportunity difficult to accept. It is a nonsense really, the same nonsense actually that says you cut taxes to take in more tax revenue.
Our percentage of tax revenue vs...
You've mentioned Trident twice now. You sure are impressed with a pre-arranged question from the Tory MP for Aldershot serving up scripted answer for the PM, for a cheap shot after the leader of the opposition has sat down.
