Just check whether they actually specified "per year" or "per month"

I'm surprised they didn't spin it to "We have reduced net migration to 'tens of thousands'. It's just that there are fifty of them.

[WTFH]

well they did promise to reduce immigration to tens of thousands.

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

To be fair they did try quite hard... but no matter how unappealing they try to make England people aren't dissuaded from coming here.

An Australian-style points-based system to control immigration.

I thought that was Keir's plan?

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.

BNP would have had something close wouldn't they?

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

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.

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!
