Britain’s Youth Exodus Exposes the Cost of Starmer’s Broken Model

Britain’s migration numbers are hiding a deeper national crisis. While headline net migration has fallen, the real shock is who is leaving: record numbers of British nationals, especially younger people, are now heading out of the country. Michael Heaver looks at new figures showing net migration still at 171,000, with more than 800,000 people arriving and 642,000 leaving in 2025. He highlights the alarming fact that 136,000 more British nationals left than returned, including 75,000 more people aged 16 to 34, the highest number on record. Against a backdrop of rising taxes, welfare spending exceeding income tax receipts, and immigration now ranking as Britain’s top public concern, the exodus points to something far more serious.
