When I say I think there's too much immigration, I'm basing that off the 900,000 figure, which I think is from 2023. My reasoning is that if we're thinking about migration as something that happens not just to the UK but to the world, in many cases the UK government is recruiting workers from countries like west Africa, where there's a skills shortage.
