The UK's hotspot areas for immigrants have been revealed, with net international migration positive in all but one council in 2024.

Robert Bates, research director at the Centre for Migration Control told the Daily Mail: "Assimilation has been made impossible by the sheer scale of mass migration and our national culture is damaged as a result.

"Stretched public services - from the NHS and GP surgeries to public transport and schools - are being further eroded by a low wage, low-skill immigration system."

He added: "Politicians have ignored the concerns of voters due to a misguided belief that open borders benefit the economy.

"We fast need a government which rejects this dogma and starts work to scrap a whole raft of failed visa routes, end foreign nationals' access to the welfare system, and invests in skills for the British workforce."
