Yet UK immigration and overall net immigration have fallen sharply, as have asylum claims. This is all despite the false perception put out by the likes of Reform that it is rising. Most of those on the right also conveniently forget that the surge in legal immigration came after Brexit( that was supposed to reduce it), and was a direct result of policies enacted under Boris Johnson. Not Starmer. Not Labour. All that is left to generate the outrage is illegal immigration that accounts for less than five percent of the total, and idiots who were deservedly locked up for rioting and hate speech. Perhaps the cold, hard facts need talking about more as the support for Reform and Farage, as evidenced by their run of by-election defeats, continues to fall.
