UK net migration hits record 906,000 in year to June 2023

It was already a record high, but revised figures show net migration actually peaked in 2023 at a quarter of a million more than first thought. According to estimates, it then dropped by 20 percent this year. Only a tiny fraction arrived on small boats - most coming legally, to study or work. Sir Keir Starmer says it shows the Tories ran an open borders experiment "by design, not accident".
