Shocking the number of people coming to this country through legal migration but the Tory’s focus has been on the relatively small number of people arriving illegal.
But there doesn’t seem to be any plan to deal with the influx of people? New schools, hospitals, houses, nothing. Surely if you’re bring so many people in, you need to have a plan to increase the infrastructure of the countr.

Record breaking 2022 net migration figure revised to 745,000 as latest stats show 672,000 came to UK

Senior Tories hit out at "unsustainable" legal migration as the Office for National Statistics details the latest numbers.

Well it's not surprising that the government want to tackle illegal migration because it's, er, illegal. Legal migration is legal and unfortunately I don't think there is an appetite to drastically cut legal migration or remove those who have migrated here in the past few decades. Even Labour don't seem to want to close off the legal routes.

They've taken measures to reduce the number of international students....
