They were asked to raise their hands if they think 
legal migration should fall




Representatives of Britain’s seven biggest parties have been participating in a general election debate on ITV. In one of the major moments of the debate, they were each asked whether they wanted to see migration to the UK fall.

The debate’s moderator – Julie Etchingham – said to the panel: “Please raise your hand if you think the net level of legal migration – that is the additional number of people coming to the country to work and live – needs to fall.

Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner, the Liberal Democrats’ deputy leader Daisy Cooper raised her hand, the Tories’ leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt, and Reform UK leader all raised their hand.

The Green Party’s Carla Denyer, the SNP’s Stephen Flynn, and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth did not.


Following the exercise, Flynn branded the position of Labour, the Tories, the Lib Dems and Reform UK as reflecting “the Westminster status quo”.
