Net migration to the UK reached an unprecedented high of 906,000 in 2023, reflecting immigration trends during the Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak administrations, but has since begun to decrease.
In fiscal year 2023-24, the UK government's spending on asylum surged by 36% to 5.38 billion pounds from the previous year's figure, illustrating the rising costs associated with managing incoming migrants.
The Office for National Statistics has revised past estimates significantly, with net immigration numbers for June 2023 corrected upwards by 166,000, emphasizing the need for better data analysis.
The recent decline in net migration figures correlates with recent policies implemented by Rishi Sunak, such as restricting visas for international students and their families.
