Why Is Net Migration Falling In The UK?

In this episode of Borderline, I break down the latest ONS figures and give my personal take on why net migration has dropped compared to last year. Many people are confused by the numbers, so I explain the straightforward reasons behind the decline — including more people leaving the UK, fewer international students coming to study, and long-term residents returning to Europe.

From expats seeking a safer or warmer life, to wealthier individuals relocating for tax reasons, to shifts in the university system — these factors all play a part.
And yes… I also talk about how current political decisions may be influencing the trend.

👉 Do you think net migration will keep falling?
👉 Are people leaving the UK for quality of life reasons, tax reasons, or something else entirely?
