Summary

Net migration to the UK is projected to drop below 200,000 for the first time since the pandemic, according to new figures. This decline is attributed to fewer EU and non-EU workers and students entering the UK, and more leaving, particularly students after their studies. Policy changes, including increased salary requirements and visa restrictions, have contributed to this shift. Despite public perception suggesting otherwise, migration has been decreasing, not increasing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
