The Brexit supporting boss of one of the country’s biggest high street retailers has admitted that when it comes to immigration it was “not the Brexit I wanted”.
In an interview with the BBC, Tory peer Lord Simon Wolfson said the UK economy had been badly hit by the loss of overseas workers since the decision to quit the UK.
He said: “We have got people queuing up to come to this country to pick crops that are rotting in fields, to work in warehouses that otherwise wouldn’t be operable, and we’re not letting them in.
