Starmer has turned it around a bit, but still massive.
Say no to far-right charlatans.

Theres roughly as many Indians living in the UK as there is welsh people (2m each)
The amount of people born in the Indian subcontinent now living in the UK is 3.6 million

Brexit was the dumbest political mistake ever.
Right wingers, Russia, USA…. all influenced for it to harm Europe as a whole.

When Farage, who was a major spokesperson for Leave, won, he stepped down from UKIP and pretty much went radio silent.
And now he’s back again spouting the same rhetoric that led to a worsening of the “problem” he claimed to be solving.

It was probably the Swiss and the Norwegians

Fucked us with Brexit then did this. Unbelievable the amount of hate starmer gets compared to how little they got at the time

How do those non-EU people immigrate to UK? Is that a bug or a feature?

Can someone ELI5 how did that happen? Im an EU national with a pre settled status so I never need to know the visa system but I thought the whole thing about the reform post Brexit was about making it much harder to come into the uk? What am I missing?

I see people making fan of Brexit but this here is solid proof of the UK government betraying yet again the democratic choice of its people.
They wanted less foreigners and they got even more and of worse quality than before. Without being asked or warned.
Anyone happy seeing this is a fool

I hope they join back even though I don’t think it will happen. We have a lot more in common than we think

Task failed successfully.

It’s the biggest betrayal in modern electoral politics. Getting elected on a mandate to reduce immigration to tens of thousand only to ramp it up to millions of people

That was the goal.Â
Some big powers outside and inside are working 24/7 to ruin UK as much possible. It’s insane.Â

I was typing a long response but what’s the point? Brexit is something I regret every day not least because it showed me that my country was not the country I thought it was.

Brexit has been quite beneficial for Bulgaria.
A lot of skilled Bulgarians have returned and fewer are leaving for the UK.

That worked like a charm. Let billionaires fool a whole country successfully.

Now the guy who brought you this outcome is leading in the polls!

On the left side do the two categories add to what looks like the total, or is eu in front of not eu?

The Non-EU migration has clearly been a disaster, which means that Brexit and the Tories, architects of this plan, were also disasters.
You can really see the vast gulf between what the Tory party says, and what it does.

This is literally the opposite to what they wanted to achieve!

I left the UK after 5 years right after the vote in 2016. They clearly expressed their feelings towards EU and EU migrants and I did not feel welcomed anymore.
Apparently this feeling was widely shared among my fellow EU migrants.

At least Polish went home! \s

After Brexit, many of my compatriots returned to Poland or settled in other European countries. They were hard-working people. They are now working for the EU economy. I hope that all people in Europe see how badly leaving the EU ends.

And this is why you must never vote for economic right wing parties. They support cheap labour importation to keep wages down and house prices high.

This is absolutely pathetic and also absolutely predictable
Brexit was a massive con. Good luck UK, hope you get some better politicians

Brexit continues showing what an awful decision it was. Hope Britain will one day come back, everyone will be stronger.

Amazing how everything brexit was supposed to solve didn’t actually happen and everything bad that was warned about actualized. Chef’s kiss.

Brexit voters are dumbest of the dumb. Well apart from any prick that voted for trump in the US
