Net Migration into UK Almost Halved in 2025, Official Figures Show – Politics Live The latest statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that net migration into the United Kingdom has plummeted by nearly half, down to 171,000 in 2025.
This significant drop from the previous year's 331,000 people moving to Britain marks a sharp reversal of fortunes.
Net migration was at an all time high in 2021, driven in part by the post Brexit immigration system and Covid 19 travel restrictions.
