    Record Breakers!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63743259

    UK net migration hit 504,000 in the year to June - the highest figure ever recorded, The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates.

    The rise is driven by people arriving legally from outside the EU and the resumption of post-pandemic travel.


    Thankfully very few are from the EU, pheww!

    First Law of Contracting: Only the strong survive

    So we need to build a minimum of 200,000 dwellings a year? When will we start doing that?

    At 10,000 people per new doctor, dentist, school etc. it will be so nice to see new ones opening.

    Luckily we all voted for it, can anyone tell me which manifesto it was in?

      No party had a manifesto promise to stop people legally entering the country. This isn't indyref, things stay the same unless you vote to change the law.

        I guess the points are like the ones you get with the supermarket. What do points make? Peoples!

            well they did promise to reduce immigration to tens of thousands. They seem to have an issue with that.

              It's almost like the Conservatives are totally tulip or the biggest liars on the planet. Or both.

                Don't forget, it would have been much worse under Labour
