#Jenrick on #Bbclaurak "All of the data shows that mass migration, allowing hundreds of thousands, millions, of people into the United Kingdom has been a disaster for living standards for British working people. Labour and Tory have juiced up the GDP figures to make it look like it (sic) is richer than it actually is but the GDP per capital shows living standards for OUR* people have gone down"

So on one hand he tries to change the GDP figures to apply to the individual and then on the other to apply to the general when he talks about "our people"

That's known as the fallacy of hasty generalization, or sometimes the inductive fallacy.
