Theresa May is going to double down on her promise to curb immigration to Britain in a bid to prevent her being ousted as leader of the Conservative party, and thereby remove her as UK prime minister.

But in her upcoming speech at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference today in London, there is a huge hole in her pledge that could be one of the worst things to happen to UK businesses.
