UK net migration hit a record high of 906,000 in 2023, revised up from 740,000, with Labour leader Keir Starmer blaming the previous Conservative government for an "open borders experiment." Starmer accused the Tories of failing to control immigration, promising reforms to reduce numbers. The current government acknowledges the need to tackle high migration levels and their root causes. Recent data shows net migration fell 20% in the year to June 2024 to 728,000.
