‘Shocked and not surprised’ Migration expert reacts to ‘staggering’ figures

Mike Jones, executive director of Migration Watch has branded the latest mass migration figure “devastating” but claimed he was “shocked and not surprised” by the result.

His comments come as Britain experienced the largest surge in migration among wealthy nations last year, with 746,900 new permanent- type migrants arriving in 2023, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
