Braverman calls for annual cap on net migration,
saying today's figures 'slap in face to British public'
Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, has
described today’s immigration figures as “a slap in the face to the British
public”. She is calling for much tougher visa restrictions and an annual cap on
net migration.
She has
made her comments in a short thread on X starting here.
Today’s
record migration stats show we’ve let in an extra million people in just 2
years, a population equivalent to Birmingham. The pressure on housing, the NHS,
schools, wages, and community cohesion, is unsustainable. When do we say:
enough is enough? 1/3
We were
elected on a pledge to reduce net migration, which was 229k in 2019. Today’s
record numbers are a slap in the face to the British public who have voted to
control and reduce migration at every opportunity. We must act now to reduce
migration to sustainable levels. 2/3
Brexit gave
us the tools. It’s time to use them. As HS I pushed to:
- Put an annual cap on net migration;
- Raise the salary threshold to £45k (excluding
health & social care);
- Close the graduate visa route;
- Cap health & social care visas;
- Limit dependents on all visas. 3/3
