The Financial Times will surely have to correct this false assertion in a column by Camilla Cavendish: "Net migration was only low last year because emigration was high"
I (eventually) got the BBC to correct Nigel Farage's similar false claim: immigration fell 400k, emigration rose 41k.

Next net migration statistics (Nov 26th) will see net migration < 100k at its lowest for 30 years.
We may hear more nonsense in the media + politics about emigration. (We should expect a rise, among recent migrants; there is no real rise of British emigration).
The FT should not echo that.

No. We estimate that emigration is lower now than it was five years ago

There are going to be more inaccurate emigration stories to explain the fall in net migration to < 100k & probably zero
8 months after publishing this entirely fabricated story about Britons "fleeing the country" because of tax rises, the Telegraph has finally (after a comprehensive defeat at @ipso.co.uk) published a correction.

Anyways I know everyone wants to hide this but there's really no way to hold a belief that emigration to Israel is evil, especially when literally fleeing local bigotry against you, and remain anything other than a blood-and-soil nativist who believes that people belong in preordained nation-states

Since the Russian invasion in 2022 Ukraine’s population has fallen from around 37m to 27m-28m, largely due to emigration and territory moving to Russian control. The fertility rate has unsurprisingly dropped hard. Russia seems to see depopulation as a war objective

Jenrick has won the argument for Reform to ditch Reform's long-standing policy of net migration at zero, to "net negative migration"
Net migration at zero shrinks the population by 600,000 in 5 years. Reform are now for net emigration + mass deportations

Reform want net zero migration - fiscal hit about £18 billion, or more once Jenrick promoting decade of net emigration. Cons would be net 0-100k, so £12-18 bn. None of the parties get asked to identify how to fund their aims, unlikely among public policy proposals

A deeply dishonest article. Why can’t supposedly reputable journalists and news outlets ever tell the truth about migration?!
The schtick about net migration only falling because of emigration increasing is simply not true. While emigration did rise, Immigration also fell considerably. Stop lying!

which of course is terrible. (Particularly because it meant loss of their assets too).
But it looked at the time like the nazis planned a shakedown, disposession and forced emigration for Germany's jews, not extermination camps. That was the danger the Kindertransport planners reacted to.

Myth 5/22 Hein de Haas
⭕️Emigration rises as poor countries get richer.
⭕️Development in low-income countries initially leads to more, not less, emigration, because several factors simultaneously increase people’s capabilities and aspirations to migrate, e.g. higher incomes, better education.
