UK Net Migration Surges To Record High
Net migration to the United Kingdom hit a record high of 606,000 in 2022 - 20% up from the previous year - despite the pledge made by Prime Minister Rishi to curb legal migration numbers after he took office in October, official estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown.
The influx of legal migrants is partly driven by the British government’s visa scheme for Ukrainian refugees, as well as people migrating to Britain for reasons of employment or education.
Legal migration was a primary issue in the UK’s 2016 Brexit referendum in which a majority voted to leave the EU and take control of Britain’s own borders, as many voters said at the time. Net migration to the UK in 2015 was 329,000 – just above half of the 2022 tally.

Scholz Rushed By Unknown Motorcade Infiltrator
An unknown person managed to infiltrate Olaf Scholz’s motorcade on Wednesday night before clutching himself to the German Chancellor in what experts are calling an “incomprehensible failure” of security.
A 48-year-old man, reportedly with a Greek surname, told interrogators he thought it was a wedding cortege when he rushed towards Scholz getting out of his limousine on the runway, firmly shook his hand, pressed the Chancellor to his chest and tried to hug him.
Although the suspect’s car numbers were not in the database, it was somehow allowed into the closed area of the airport along with the rest of the convoy.
