#NetMigration
With an ageing population and declining birth rates, the UK needs net migration to stay stable. But it’s time for a serious discussion on funding for social care & housing to keep up with population changes.

Net migration: time to face the real facts
The last government ignored difficult issues, and allowed incompatible policies on migration. The real challenges are much more difficult.

I feel dirty even engaging with this but whoever wrote this speech doesn't know what "net" means. She surely can't mean it would be better for social cohesion if more British born people left? (I suspect she means the gross flow but is so used to saying "netmigration" it feels like one word)

Small boats aren’t the real issue for UK migration. Work visas and study visas account for most of the influx. Time for a more informed debate on immigration policy.

Keir Starmer is right to point out the rise in net migration under the Tories, & the issue is more complex than numbers. We need net migration, plus funded social care and new-build housing.

#Labour is embracing a #littleEngland mentality — and they don’t even seem to know why, or even care.
Reducing #netmigration is treated as if it were self-explanatory.
But it isn’t.

And they treat it as a self-evident truth, not even bothering to make an argument for why this “goal” is supposedly good for the country. “It’s what people tell us on the doorstep” has become the all-purpose rhetorical device, the wild card that justifies everything.

Net migration to the UK has plummeted by over 40%, yet Reform UK wants you to ignore the facts and panic anyway. Their outrage isn't about numbers; it's about selling fear. Don't buy the grift. 📊🚫

Prof Rob Ford makes a point here that #NetMigration reaching zero would assuage ppl's concern about #immigration (which would allow politics to move on from talking abt it). But debate so far hasn't really been based on facts and stats, has it? I don't see how that will change just cause *net*=zero

Immigration is falling sharply in both Britain and the United States — but once you adjust for population size, the UK has actually seen the bigger policy shift.

FT can explain why high #netmigration or border churn of mostly #temporaryvisa holders is important?

#Ageing #population, more #pensioners vs fewer #workingage #taxpayers; rising #oldage #dependency ratios -> #budget stress.

Net migration temps pay £billions VAT tax = net financial contributors?

Net migration fell to 177k, and yet it remains a divisive topic.

#Migration & #demographic illiteracy?!

No direct correlation between NOM #NetMigration (border barometer) & capped Permanent Migration?!

'changes to the permanent migration program were made "to place downwards pressure on NOM'
