Sunak urged to 'act now' as net migration hits 745,000

Revised estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) put net migration to the UK in the year to December 2022 higher than previously thought. However, the figure for the year to June 2023 is estimated to be lower, at 672,000.

In a strongly-worded statement, the right-wing New Conservative group of MPs demanded action from the Prime Minister and his Home Secretary, James Cleverly.

The group, led by Miriam Cates, Danny Kruger and Sir John Hayes, yesterday warned: “The word ‘existential’ has been used a lot in recent days but this really is ‘do or die’ for our party.
