With a rough guess at the income level, I would say everyone on under £35,000 ($55,000) per year is worse off. The lower down the income level the worse they're doing.

The top reason for a lowering of living standards has to be house prices and rents. Then in this order roughly, wages, employment, healthcare, education and benefits. Added to that is the need to keep borrowing to keep paying out benefits that wouldn't be required if there were fewer migrants.

@ ianmoone Come to Czech and see where some of those companies have moved to. Easier to move to the workers then employ migrants on taxpayer subsidies.

I still can't see any benefits for anyone under £35,000 or even as high as £55,000.

This applies to Germany especially with the flood of migrants from the ME driving down wages, pushing up property prices and putting more into poverty. Hence the move to the only people who offer any solution, the Far Right. Once those migrants spill into France, Austria, Holland, Denmark, voters will kick back.

Unanimous support for UK-EU deal - Tusk - BBC News = Politicians, aren't a democratic system. It'sd the people who do.
