It’s not going to be enough for the Rupert Lowes of the world. If we get net migration down to zero, they’ll call for deportation because there are too many Pakistanis, Indians, Nigerians, Afghans living in the UK.

But the resulting lower GDP is surely a “HUGE blow for Rachael Reeves” 😂

HUGE blow for Labour as farmers, NHS expect labour shortage due to fewer immigrants – The Daily Mail, probably.

Jesus people are never happy are they. Brining it down 250k after a year in charge is an amazing announcement. You’d wet your pants if Riot Nige had achieved that

It’s not just about the raw numbers, it’s the type of people leaving and arriving.

It’s quite a feat to cut it by a third one year into the term, so well done.
Same again next year please.

Reducing migration from 700,000 to 500,000 in just a year through a tougher and more restrictive visa process is quite impressive.
I imagine when they implement the new immigration reform the drop in net migration will be even more stark. I don’t know what polling says about what number of immigrants per year the British population find acceptable but I imagine net migration at a 150,000 per year or lower would be relatively acceptable to a majority of the population, especially considering it was nearly at a million not too long ago.
Now only if Labour can also manage illegal migration via the small boats which isn’t a large amount but a bad look and far trickier to solve. If they succeed in that they can effectively wipe out the most important issue for Reform.

Gotta hand it to him, he’s rather coming after Reform’s milkshake isn’t he?
It’s a shame he’ll never drink enough of it to get them to vote for him.

Another thing the Tories were pretending to fix and was expected to take years and years with who knows how much tax payer money they would have to give to their friends.
Labour is on a roll, making new trade deals and spring up the NHS while dealing with immigration. Tories weeping they’re almost wiped out for their massive incompetence and blatant corruption.

This is your reminder that net population growth in the UK has averaged between 0.5% and 1% pretty reliably for the last 20 years. The *share* of the population that are immigrants may be rising, but the overall amount of people has been a steady curve. More people are dying than are being born, and people are leaving the country as well.

What is the actual source of this immigration? We know it’s not illegal immigration, and the skilled worker visas are notoriously difficult to get for most foreigners.
How did we get to this point? How are so many unskilled workers allowed to enter the country, especially after Brexit?

As usual people uninformed on economic consequences of migration discuss economic consequence, which is in almost all serious studies show positive effect to broader economy. People, make an argument that makes sense. Talk about crime and social aspects that you surely care about far more.
When your assertions go against visible evidence, it just makes your whole case weaker. Check ONS, check oxford migration study, check institutionally led studies for effect of migration on economies. It’s positive. Stop with this fantasy. Stick to the very valid reasons of cultural and crime aspects. It just makes the issue’s focus to reach wrong conclusion and wrong discussion to happen where one side defends empirical evidence and the other attacking the evidence with no productive discussion.

Very good progress a pity the rabid farage fans won’t be satisfied unless net is negative they’d also be the first the cry when there’s no one left to look after them in care homes.

Meaning we’ll still have levels of 650,000. Those are still crazy numbers

Yet the Russian bot controlled europe_sub says otherwise.
They’re literally calling for ICE style movement in the the UK.

Doesn’t matter. The media, which is mostly controlled by the alt right, will still either (A) ignore it, (B) pretend it’s not enough, (C) lie and say he’s letting more immigrants in.

“The home office estimated that the new policies could lead to a 100,000 drop in immigration per year by 2029”
Thats shocking as it means our net migration in 2029 would be even higher than in 2022

Up to 250k or around 250k?
Cause it falling by 5 is „up to“ 250k

why boost? less immigrants should be a boost for the far right. not socialists

I’m sure this will raise wages and living standards like the Farage crowd said it would, right?
Just like how last time they said Brexit would, and look how that turned out!

If that actually truly happens then he has already secured my next vote.

Be hilarious if it turned out it was because emigration of brits increased

It doesn’t matter anyway, those who care about this the most will just call these fake numbers and find a way to turn this into a big load of nothing.

Yeah, but this is the people you want IN, because they are net positive and willing to integrate.
Now their spots will be filled with lligal people and the kind of that won’t integrate.
