  Hidden in today’s budget :-
  
  Net migration is projected to be minimum 315,000 every year, up from 245,000
  
  The Office for Budget Responsibility has harmonised with the Office for National Statistics on this figure
  
  This means the Treasury will make fiscal policy on this assumption
  
  Very differently to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's promise at the dispatch box today, that our economy will focus on increasing GDP per capita, and not source GDP growth from mass migration anymore
  
  This also means that, yet again, the budget for public services will fall short of the demand being artificially inflated by government policy to import record numbers of foreign nationals
