What was said
"Facing the threat of Farage, who tore chunks out of the Tory vote year after year, they instead proceeded to set new immigration records, culminating in 2023 when net annual immigration exceeded 900,000."
Kisin highlighted that Conservative governments repeatedly broke promises to reduce immigration to tens of thousands, instead setting records with over 900,000 net arrivals in 2023. He argues this was driven by perverse GDP incentives rather than ideology, as politicians use immigration to artificially boost headline economic growth figures.
