Pure migration for UK at the rate of over 400,000 in a year: Live

ONS said the decline in net migration has been inspired by the decline in the number of people coming to the UK for work and study.

In 2024, the number of non-EU+ citizens decreased by 49%, which was a 35% decline in people coming as the main applicant on a work visa in the UK, as well as people coming as working dependents.

The number of non-EU+ citizens who came as the main applicants on a study visa fell to 17%, while the study dependents had a major decline of 86%.

The drop is likely to reflect changes in migration rules launched by the previous Orthodox government in early 2024, including restricting the ability of most international students to bring family members.

Non-EU+ National refers to those who are not from the European Union or Norway, Iceland, Lichenstein and Switzerland.

According to data from the National Statistics (ONS) office, the estimated net migration for the UK was below December 2024 in December 2024 to December 2024 in December 2024.

This is the biggest numerical drop on record.

The decline of the last largest calendar year was during the early stages of the Kovid -19 epidemic, when the net migration from 184,000 fell from 184,000 to 93,000 in the year ended December 2020 to 93,000 in the year ended December 2020.

Net migration is the difference between the number of people living in the UK and the number of long -term people.

My colleague Andy Gregory Report:

The UK government increased more than expected by £ 20.2 billion last month, raising more pressure on Chanhel Reves to meet its fiscal rules.

The National Statistics (ONS) for the office said that the public sector pure borrowing increased to the record of the fourth highest April figure on the record after growing £ 1 billion from 1 billion years.

The state borrowing figure reflects the difference between government expenditure and income, through large -scale tax receipts.

The latest figures showed that Chancellor had to borrow more money than expected in the month, which crosses the predictions of an analyst of £ 17.6 billion.

It comes when Ms. Reeves wants to meet her fiscal rule of balanced day-to-day expenses with revenue by 2029-30, while public services improve and target quick economic growth.

The Chief Secretary of Treasury Darren Jones said: “After years of crippling the public purse after years of economic instability, we have decided to stabilize our public finance, which has helped cut four interest rates since August, which has cut the cost of borrowing for businesses and working people.

“We are fixing NHS, with three million more appointments to bring down the waiting list, the UK is rebuilt with our landmark planning reforms and strengthening our borders, distributing the country’s priorities through our plan for change.”

The leadership of an independent review in the punishment that can see violent criminals and sexual criminals previously released from prison, has said that “no emergency wants to see the initial release plan”.

The final autumn government quickly released prisoners to counter congestion, in a measure that independent critic David Gauk described as “run, unplanned and impossible”.

Talking to the Today’s Today’s Today program, Mr. Gauk, former Orthodox Justice Secretary, said: “No, I think, I want to see a repetition of that (initial release plan), because it is hurry, it is unplanned, it is uncontrolled, and so, to tell that we are planning to tell us that in that case.

“Because if you run out of prison places, you are actually putting the entire criminal justice system at risk.”

He said that more community sentences can provide better value for money for taxpayers.

“I think there is a point from the taxpayer’s point of view that can be remembered here,” he said. “The genches are expensive. They cost £ 54,000-one year for prison space. This money can be spent very effectively in the community, punish both criminals and help in rehabilitation.”

A dramatic intervention by a senior judge last night threatened to throw the controversial schemes of Kir Stmper Chagos islands Today, Mauritius in anarchy.

The plan is to sign the deal today that will give Mauritius sovereignty on the islands. This will follow the months of months amid concerns over the future of the UK/ American military base on Diego Garcia.

But a late legal challenge A Chgosian saw a High Court judge Sir Julian Goose signed the treaty at 3 am today, working legally at 3 am today.

Our political editor David Madox Report:

David Gauk said that there are recommendations in reviewing their sentence to send foreign criminals back to their countries.

He told Sky News: “If a foreign national criminal is sentenced to less than three years, we argue that they should be deported as soon as possible.

“If they have been punished that is more than three years, a particularly serious crime, we can deport them, but there is no guarantee until there is a prison transfer agreement with another country.

He said: “If we just deport them, whatever is their punishment length, they can be free. And I don’t think it would be appropriate on the victims. I don’t think it will be right for the society as a whole.

“Therefore you have to balance the guarantee of punishment for serious criminals, as with the case to get them out of our jails as soon as possible.”

It is possible to proceed quickly to deport people guilty of crimes, he said, but said that you may not have a blanket approach where every foreign national criminal is deported “.

The review of the punishment recommends discovering chemical caustation for sexual criminals, which is a way to reduce rebirth, independent critic David Gauk.

“One of our recommendations is that we feel that we should continue to detect it, it is drugs that reduces sexual desire,” Mr. Gauk told Sky News.

“This is not suitable for each sexual criminal, and for this there is a need to create evidence base.”

A small pilot can be expanded to the southwest of England, he said.

“I am not going to claim that this is the answer to everything. It is about reducing the risk of resume starting in the future. There are some sexual criminals who want to reduce their desires. And if we can detect it, I think it’s something that is meaningful,” he said.

Asked if it would be used instead of keeping sex criminals in jail, he said: “The point is at some point that almost every prisoner will be released.
