5:14Now PlayingMatthew Wright wants to know why so many Brits are looking at Dubai as a place to call home. But when expat Ranjan called, the two quickly got into a tense debate.
Net migration to the UK has dropped sharply in the last year as more Brits leave the country and fewer migrants come to work and study.
New data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows this figure- representing the difference between the number of people arriving and leaving Britain - rose by 204,000 in the year to June 2025.
This was a sharp fall from the 649,000 additions recorded in the year to June 2024 and was 80 per cent lower than the peak in 2023.
ONS officials say the drop is driven by a "gradual increase in levels of emigration", with provisional figures showing there were 109,000 fewer Britons in the UK by June 2025.
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer is urged to tackle “an alarming brain drain" in the UK, with experts fearing the growing number of young Brits leaving the country were hurting the economy.
The figures also highlight a ‘wave of wealth migration’ as more wealthy individuals leave the UK as other countries looking more attractive in terms of take home pay.
