Almost half of voters either strongly or somewhat support ‘admitting no more new migrants and requiring large numbers who came in recent years to leave’, says YouGov

Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, a thinktank focusing on immigration and identity, has an interesting thread on Bluesky looking at the YouGov immigration polling. (See 12.25pm.) He is interested in what it reveals about the extent of support for racist/extremist views. He says he is concerned that, with one of the findings suggeesting at least 10% of Britons would support the removal of migrants who have been granted British citizenship, this shows “there is very little challenge in national politics to a concerted attempt to mobilise racist concerns on immigration.”

YouGov has released detailed polling on attitudes to immigration that shows a clear link between having hardline anti-immigrant views and being ignorant about the level of illegal immigration into the UK.
