Almost half a million of those immigrants were students. Over 100k came from Ukraine. It's also worth considering that our universities are overall dependent on foreign students.

Sadly, lots look at immigration figures like these and presume they're mainly asylum seekers or illegal immigrants. In fact, the numbers claiming asylum are relatively low. The UK has also granted a lot of work visas to non-EU citizens.
Let's call the latest figures 750 k

600k include students , many of whom return ......and Ukrainian families ......many of whom return

So we have illegal immigrants , asylum seekers and usual migration , a figure of 150 k

It seems having a sensible immigration policy regarding the above and cracking down on illegal immigrants is perfectly achievable

Brexit was sold to many to sort this out

That's worked well

So now they want to vote reform
