<p>The Office for National Statistics has released the migration figures for the last quarter — and whilst the government is celebrating, Julia Hartley-Brewer isn't buying it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>She's joined by Reform UK Councillor and Deputy Leader of Durham County Council Darren Grimes, who forcefully argues that nobody voted for the rampant levels of migration over the past decades.&nbsp;</p><br><p>From David Cameron's broken promise of reducing it to tens of thousands, to Boris Johnson's staggering 944,000 net arrivals, the British public have been consistently lied to — and are now footing the bill in housing, healthcare, schools, and council translation contracts running into the tens of thousands.</p><br><p>Former Head of UK Border Force Tony Smith then joins to drill down into the raw data. Net migration is down to 171,000 — but 88,000 new asylum claims, a 3% boat removal rate, and nearly a fifth of the UK population now foreign-born tells a very different story.</p><br><p>Also: Julia discusses the viral clip of Rachel Reeves getting heckled at a Leeds petrol station… and her questioning the British-ness of her heckler.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Plus, the Reform candidate for the Makerfield by-election faces media scrutiny over deleted tweets.</p><br><p>Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.</p><br><p>Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
