Number of Britons leaving the UK higher than previously thought

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures come a day after the home secretary announced the biggest shake-up of the asylum system since the Second World War.

Not really the best way to get net migration down.

"It means that rather than the 77,000 British nationals who were thought to have left the UK in the year ending December 2024, 257,000 in fact left."

Wow, thats a huge difference and I suspect most of them were net contributors

Decades of sh1t neo liberal policies destroying this country.

The only way to stop people leaving is to improve living standards by reversing wealth inequality.


A Reform govt would turn U.K. into a deregulated Singapore on Thames and people would leave in the millions

That happened after Brexit.

High value EU nationals left and we got Turkish barbers to replace them.

Tories have destroyed this country over 14 years, actually over 44 years, Blair continued the neo liberal rot.

Are you going to swap your 4 bed house for a smaller one that meets your needs or are you going to continue to help keep people in overcrowded properties?

In the year ending June 2024, approximately 79,000 Brits emigrated from the UK. This is a decrease from previous years, with figures of 98,000 in late 2023 and 157,000 in early 2020.

Depends how you ask the question.
Emigrated not the same as just leaving UK .
Article says thought to have left .
Hardly definitive ?

there are millions of people suffering food and or fuel insecurity

improving their situation requires government policy

yes its actually quite a muddled article and the first attempt was even worse.

I think part of the problem is they don't know people have left until say - they tell HMRC to do one, when they demand a tax return.

I assume you like the idea of the lowest earners getting a tax break then?

or what about the policy of reducing benefits to those who turn down job offers?

The more illegal or otherwise, immigrants that come here the more 'real' British people will look to leave!

Brexit was never any good.

All the stats produced by the ONS are utter garbage these days. They keep retrospectively revising the monthly job losses/gains, sometimes the adjustment is greater than the original published figure.

Either they're utterly incompetent or they're knowingly publishing lies.

What’s that got to do with people suffering fuel or energy insecurity / povity?


I guess you are trying to say it’s only lay scroungers that go hungry, because that’s the sort of unpleasant Telegraph reading person you are.

As usual I think you need facts to back up your false claims

Let me help:

People on the lowest pay getting tax breaks so they pay less tax and keep more of their money.
People who have had 2 or more job offers, but turn them down, because they prefer to be on benefits, having their benefits cut because they have turned down work.

So thats the poorest people having more money, because being in work, should always be better than being able to work but choosing to be on benefits.
