ONS stats released this morning show EU net migration is now at its lowest level since 2009, and more citizens from Central and Eastern European countries are now leaving the UK than arriving. 

Ian Murray, Labour MP and Best for Britain supporter, said:

“This is further evidence that Brexit has made EU nationals living in the UK feel unwanted.

“That’s the opposite of what our country needs right now. Our hospitals need nurses and doctors, our schools need teachers, our universities need the best academics and researchers, and our divisions need healing.

“As Parliamentary paralysis continues, more and more people are packing their bags and leaving.

“The power to decide our future must be given back to the British people, giving them the final say on the Brexit deal, with the option to stay and build on our current deal with the EU firmly on the table.”
