Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives.
And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers.
The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system.
Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.

@SW_Help not impressed with the customer service received this evening. 01:13 to BMH showing as running earlier and now cancelled. Advised by the help point it was cancelled yesterday. A lie!!!
@SW_Help Glad you've reported it but not sure how this is going to be resolved as we've missed our train. It has taken us 1 hr 45 mins to get from NWM to SOA. And totally unacceptable and dangerous how the cases were packed on the bus!!!
@SW_Help your rail replacement service is a joke. Thought it was meant to get you to the station in time to catch a train!!! We have now missed the 09:26 from SOA and cases flying everywhere on the bus!!!! 😡😡😡
@NiallHarbison Oh no,such sad news, I'm so sorry to hear this 😢💔. I'm sure he felt some comfort and love over the last 4 days since you rescued him. I was really hoping he would survive and find a lovely forever home. Thanks for giving him a chance xx
@NiallHarbison Such an improvement 🥰. Out of all the stories you've posted, this one has broken my heart the most. I don't understand how anyone can treat a dog like this 🤬. Glad you noticed him in time 💗
