Labour would win 600 seats if they adopted the Danish Social Democrat policies on immigration and multiculturalism

A government with Hunt, Cleverly, Cameron and Sunak. What did you expect ?
There is a reason why they called an election, they don’t plan on doing anything else to cut immigration levels.

Whats the figure when you take away temporary migrants like students?

Not as high as I’d hoped but hopefully labour can come in and at least maintain this level.

Maybe Keir will come up with a plan soon and not go the set up a commission group route. The election will be won or lost on immigration. The nation’s had enough. Plans are great action will be better.

I for one can’t wait for all these new doctors and engineers to start working. With their skills there’s no doubt we’ll be able to get the NHS running smoothly and all the potholes fixed. This doesn’t even touch on the massive GDP boost that so many people will provide, which will no doubt be invested wisely for future generations. Maybe the money could be used for building houses, which we seem to have a shortage of!
Of course, there’s also the cultural elements. I can’t wait to be introduced to exciting new foods and cultural practices stale old England has been missing out on. I’m personally excited to finally try a kebab. Enriching!
How lucky we are. And the best thing is we’ll get to do it all again next year, and the year after that.

The public are fed up with the Tories, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll become Labour voters. I still expect Labour to win, but I think Reform will do well. The legacy of this Tory government will unfortunately be increasing the divide between left and right.

Isn’t most of this legal migration though? It’s all smoke and mirrors

Is there an election soon? Coz those articles are going to be daily now it seems

I guess it’s too early for the effects of some government measures to reduce visa numbers to show up in these figures. e.g. clampdown on dependents of carers didn’t happen till this year.
Nevertheless I was expecting much lower figures as I assumed Rishi had got advance warning of some ‘good’ news ahead of yesterday’s announcement.
Incredibly deceitful how the laissez-faire wing of the tory party have betrayed their support base on this.

Brexit: Lock the doors, put in a one way cat flap accessible from the outside.
I hate it. I’m trapped on this shitty little island while it gets more and more full by the day. There’s no room here already but i’m only allowed to leave on 3 month ‘day release’.
Prison island.

Is that 685,000 going to contribute anything to this country apart from turning it into a shithole?
