Immigration stats show migration to the UK has fallen by 20%. It comes as the government is announcing plans to block employers who commit "serious offences" from hiring overseas workers. Listen to Politics At Jack and Sam's as you scroll.


The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) indicate a significant drop in net migration to the UK, with the primary reasons being a decrease in the number of people arriving for work and study. The data shows that the number of EU citizens coming to the UK has fallen sharply, largely due to Brexit-related changes in immigration policy, while non-EU migration has also decreased, influenced by global travel restrictions and changes in visa policies. Notably, there has been a reduction in students coming to the UK, attributed to both the global health crisis and shifts in international student mobility. Additionally, the figures reveal an increase in emigration, particularly among EU nationals, further contributing to the net migration drop. This trend has sparked discussions on the economic implications, workforce shortages, and the government's immigration strategy moving forward.
