Net migration hit a record high of nearly one million in 2023, 170,000 more than previously thought, in an extraordinary indictment of the Tories’ post-Brexit record on ‘cutting immigration’. The Telegraph has more.
The number of people entering the U.K. minus those leaving reached 906,000 in the year ending June 2023, according to updated estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This has been revised upwards from a previous estimate of 740,000.
The net migration record was formerly thought to be 764,000 for the year ending December 2022. This estimate has also been revised and now stands at 872,000.
However, the most recent figures show that net migration is falling and is down by 20% to 728,000 for the year ending June 2024. This is the fourth highest net migration total on record.
The revised estimates come as separate Home Office figures showed government spending on asylum in the UK stood at a record £5.38 billion in 2023-24, up 36% from £3.95 billion in 2022-23.
The recent decline covers the year before the election when the Tories cracked down on migration, with measures including bans on foreign workers and students bringing dependants, increases in the skilled worker salary threshold from £26,200 to £38,700 and curbing shortage occupation visa schemes.
The ONS said the total for the year to June 2023 had been revised upwards by 166,000 from the initial estimate of 740,000 because of more data becoming available.
It reported that better analysis of the number of refugees from Ukraine and improved information on the migration behaviour of people arriving from outside the EU had also impacted estimates. …
The ONS said that while remaining high by “historic standards”, net migration is now “beginning to fall” in the wake of the measures introduced at the beginning of this year.
Non-EU nationals accounted for 86% – just over one million – of the 1.2 million people who entered the country in the year to June 2024. EU nationals made up 10% or 116,000, and returning Britons accounted for 5%.
Of the 479,000 people who left the U.K. in the year ending June 2024, around 44% – 211,000 – were EU nationals and 39% or 189,000 were from non-EU countries. Some 16%, or 79,000 were Britons.
More than a million people entering the country each year – no wonder there are queues for everything and the NHS is overrun.

So the Conservatives will be able to say that immigration was falling when they left office. That puts a bit of pressure on Labour to continue that trend. (If they care enough, that is.)
No. They stories most certainly can’t say that!!
Net migration. Net migration. Net migration. Why the constant harping on about “net migration”? Why not mention the actual devastating
migrationGreat Replacement figure of 1,385,000? 1.4 million!Anyone in Ireland? Maybe someone can confirm if this is legit and is actually a huge migrant camp they’re building, or is it just a housing estate? I do know things have gotten bad over there, though, by the looks of things;
”The Clonmel Migrant Camp is going to be absolutely enormous.
Located directly across the road from a residential area full of families, this site is set to house over 1,000 foreign men.
Ireland is being colonised again.”

Surely this is not true? It’s a year since that migrant stabbed those little kids and a staff member outside a school in Dublin but he still hasn’t stood trial yet? How is that even possible??
”One year ago today Algerian immigrant Riad Bouchaker committed one of the worst crimes in Irish history when he stabbed 3 kids and their teacher outside a school.
A year on, we still don’t know what he looks like and he hasn’t been sentenced.”

Starmer et al are trying their hardest to find some legal reasons (too much public knowledge/ rioting/media coverage etc) to not bring the Southport murderer to trial…
Sound familiar….
One positive, i saw Protestants and Catholics demonstrating together….. History in the making..
Government figures are never definite data taken as a by product of normal operating procedures. They are always “estimates”. I assume they include estimates, survey results, projections and guesses.
Whereas businesses have a strict deadline in which to file accurate accounts it seems government departments are not quite up to it. For contractors their returns have to be delivered online within two weeks and if delayed or faulty automatic fines are levied.
I suggest high paid, under pressured heads of all government departments and quangos should themselves be penalised for any failure to deliver accurate data on time. That would go as far as dismissal with prejudice.
We have the Nordic Resistant Movement in Sweden ( neo – Nazi according to the msm!.. Of course)
We have several other European countries turning to the right.
I feel Ireland is starting to seriously push back but where is the resistance here in the UK.. we need a right leaning National Party, and iam sorry to say, but Farage isnt it…
We should not focus on net migration but total immigration. Many of those leaving will not be poor, low skilled workers, however the majority of immigrants will be net beneficiaries of our welfare system, place burdens on housing and infrastructure and continue to dilute our culture, language and social structures.
The immigration number was well over a million, and that’s only the recorded immigrants, there will be a not insignificant number that escape detection and remain uncounted and unaccounted for.
I think one should focus on what is happening, why it is happening and who wants it. Practically every politician claims to be against illegal and unlimited immigration, but it nevertheless just goes on and on, not only in UK but all of Europe and USA.
I do not know who is behind it and why, but it is clearly orchestrated and it is clear that our politicians are not going to do anything about it. Why? Who is telling them they are actually to do nothing?
Whats occurring is The Kalergi Plan, all designed to destroy national identities, create a one colour race for a one world order.
Whos behind it?…… The Deep State…
