@AmberTigerEyes ”Nasdaq falls more than 2% for worst day since June as AI spending woes, oil prices spark sell-off”

The NASDAQ is up 12.2% this year as of today.

Which is 5% lower than the ten year average.

Net migration figures are immigration minus emigration. The reason net migration is low is because emigration rates are at the highest level since thr 1920s. Over a half a million british are fleeing the sinking ship every year.

I know what net migration is.

The reason net migration is low is because emigration rates are at the highest level since the1920s.

Are they/is it? According to whom?

As an aside, if we grant hundreds of thousands of study visas to foreign students every year, we do expect most of them to leave after a few years - it's not supposed to be a one-way ticket for all.

Over a half a million british are fleeing the sinking ship every year.

246,000 (British nationals) is not half a million - have you added two years' of data together in error?

Since you know what net migration is, then you should know it is not a good measure of immigration.

Brexit has made immigration much higher. Look at the charts from the Migration Observatory

Net migration only seems low because Brexit has caused very high immigration and emigration. The exact opposite of what it advertised.

Your (non-EU) immigration chart also shows immigration has substantially fallen from its peak in 2023, which clearly affects the net migration figures. Brexit didn't 'cause' high immigration. Not to mention that the ONS is using new methodology - EU immigration in the past was clearly underestimated.
