| Subject: Britain's Brexodus: EU net migration to UK falls to lowest level in a DECADE as more people from Poland are now LEAVING than arriving Thu Feb 28, 2019 3:39 pm | |
| Net immigration to Britain from EU states has fallen to its lowest level in a decade, new official statistics revealed today.
The number of EU citizens from central and eastern Europe, including from Poland, living in the UK is falling - but the number of western Europeans is still going up.
Overall arrivals from Europe in the year to September were at 57,000, the lowest level since 2009.
Immigration from countries outside the trade bloc hit their highest level in almost 15 years in the year to September as overall arrivals to the UK rose to 283,000 people, according to the Office for National Statistics.
But it was offset by a continued fall in arrivals from the European Union since the Brexit referendum.
Some Poles - including Bartek, left, told MailOnline they would never leave because their families were British as well as Polish - but others claimed life was now 's***' in Britain after Brexit.
