The Independent emphasizes the critical role of journalism in informing the public about ongoing issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and political developments. It reports a significant drop in net migration to the UK, falling to 431,000 in 2024—nearly half the previous year's levels. This figure is attributed mainly to reduced arrivals of non-EU nationals due to changes in work and student visa policies, influencing political dynamics as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer enforces new immigration reforms to address public concerns and political pressure.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that net migration to the UK has almost halved, dropping to 431,000, marking the largest numerical fall on record.
Sir Keir Starmer's immigration reform plans aim to reduce immigration levels and respond to concerns surrounding migration, indicating a political strategy against Nigel Farage and Reform UK.
