The spokesman for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated today that Sunak believes the net number of migrants to the UK is too high and should be "drastically reduced." The spokesman said, "We believe the numbers are excessively high and must be significantly reduced in the short term." Data from last month revealed that the annual net number of migrants to the UK reached a record high of 745,000 last year and has remained elevated since then, placing political pressure on Sunak to work on reducing these numbers in the period leading up to the anticipated elections next year.
