The most recent figures show that "Imports and exports have increased in value terms since 2018, however, recent volatile price inflation has had a substantial impact on trade; after adjusting for inflation, the UK imported and exported less in 2023 than in 2018."

So the politicians can claim that exports have increased, when in real terms exports have declined.

Watched Yvette Cooper this morning reiterate Starmer's 'pledge' to bring down net migration but not offer any target figures or a timeline for any of the 'pledge'. 

 

They might as well offer us all a unicorn.

I don't understand your terminology, it's not difficult to bring it down from 745,000?

She did explain quite clearly the issue and why it was so high.

Pledges and promises all round. I can't recall hearing what the Conservatives' timeline is either. Do you know?
