"Record High UK Net Migration Puts Pressure on Sunak and Braverman"

Suella Braverman, former UK Home Secretary, has called the pressure on public services from migration "unsustainable" after record levels of net migration were estimated last year. Braverman urged the government to take action to reduce the number of people coming to the UK, citing the strain on housing, healthcare, education, wages, and community cohesion. The government has acknowledged that migration is "far too high" and is considering measures such as limiting the number of relatives health and social care workers can bring, raising the minimum salary threshold for work visas, and abolishing the system allowing employers to pay less in recognized shortage areas. The Office for National Statistics revised up its estimate for net migration in 2022 to 745,000, but provisional figures suggest a potential slowdown in net migration.
