Former chancellor Philip Hammond says the UK will need to bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to plug gaps in the labour market.

Talking to Andrew Marr, the former Conservative MP urged the government to open the labour market if the UK is going to prosper.

The UK economy unexpectedly grew in November, reducing the risk of the country entering a recession.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recorded an increase of 0.1 per cent as the services sector remained in growth despite the soaring cost of living.

It nevertheless represented a slowdown in growth after GDP increased by 0.5 per cent in October.

'We're going to have to bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to do the jobs that aren't being done.'

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
