What is the future for UK migration?

Public discourse around migration to the UK has grown increasingly polarised. Following a period of record-high net migration, attitudes and policy have shifted. This panel explores the facts behind the rhetoric, offering perspectives on migration policy, migrants' experiences, and the wider historical contex.

Panel: Brian Bell (Migration Advisory Committee; King's College London), Toman Barsbai (Migration Mobilities Bristol, University of Bristol), Glen O'Hara (Oxford Brookes University), Suraj Modhvadiya (Universities UK).
