Reading the below AI summary I think I am going to need to get some old books to read because it feels like the conversation has not moved on in 120 years, this could literally describe modern Britain: The Trade Union Dilemma: The early Labour movement grew directly out of the trade unions, whose primary directive was protecting British workers' jobs, hours, and wages. Many grassroots trade unionists initially supported the concept of immigration restrictions. They viewed the unregulated influx of impoverished, un-unionized foreign laborers as a tool used by factory owners to break strikes, bypass union demands, and suppress wages. The Leadership's Ideological Pushback: In contrast to the rank-and-file anxieties, the intellectual and political leadership of the early Labour Party (influenced by socialist internationalism and the Fabian Society) largely opposed the Aliens Act 1905. They argued that anti-immigrant sentiment was a deliberate distraction engineered by the Conservative government to scapegoat "the foreigner" for structural flaws inherent to capitalism, such as poor housing and systemic poverty.

1. Not the first to talk about this, but the official government statistics using CPI and not CPIH is missing a large amount of costs that really affect peoples lives. 2. Even if you use the government CPI stats, there is a clearly a boom/bust cycle going on here, I though the point of our highly interventionist economic model ever since Keynes ideas were discussed with central banking, quantitative easing, and government deficit financing is supposed to reduce the effects of these cycles. 3. If you are someone who pays for a house/rent, than the CPIH chart looks very concerning. Going to keep looking into more things like this and see what else I discover.
