That’s the net migration figure into the U.K. in the year up to June. So how come firms are crying out for staff?

Not a political point, but does anyone know how many EU citizens went home during COVID and never returned?That’s the net migration figure into the U.K. in the year up to June. So how come firms are crying out for staff?
If you haven’t already, read Sir Kier Starmer speech to CBI ... makes a lot of observations on such matters.It's a good job we have "taken back control". Who knows what it might have been otherwise?
I hear a rumour you were taking Sketch into your gaff? Admirable if true. Is it?Wiz and 1966 said they were going to take in loads at their gaffs.How's that going I wonder?
Pesky facts getting in the way of a perfectly good hate.It would help the conversation on this thread if posters were to do some research into the nature of the immigration causing these high figures. ONS data concludes that this very high net figure results largely from the return of overseas students post-pandemic. Other critical factors are the immigration of Ukranian refugees and Hong Kong British passport holders. It is expected that a large majority of the overseas students and the Ukranian refugees will return home at some point. The Hong Kong passport holders are likely to stay in the UK.
45000 EU citizens left the UK, on BBC last nightNot a political point, but does anyone know how many EU citizens went home during COVID and never returned?
The point about lack of workers sits firmly with the Government. Until their status is agreed, they are not allowed to work, at current rate there is a 25 year backlog . I could never understand why there could not be a temporary status to allow them to work and reduce the cost to the public purse.
Yes, I cannot believe that this is even being discussed - it's stupid short-term thinking. I wonder if the home secretary is behind this idea, she certainly has form for this sort of short-termism.It would be particularly mindless to try to block foreign students coming in just to massage the immigration figures.
They have been keeping our Higher Education system afloat for donkey’s years.
