Post 1 - immigration IS still rising
Post 2 - the number of immigrants is rising
Two very different things. Immigration is falling.

Arf indeed, both the number and rate of immigrants is falling.
Figures to June 2025 (latest official figures) show immigration as 898k down from 1.3m in year to June 2024. All estimates show the figures have fallen dramatically since then.

But 898,000 more immigrants. So immigration is rising. We could do this all day.
When the rate of inflation comes down (arf) do prices "fall"? No.

And as a perfect example of the thread title you dive straight in.
You are assuming that all of the previous immigrants are still classed as immigrants. Your false equivalence with inflation and prices exemplifies your ignorance on statistics and the subject - when inflation occurs the previous cost can't change status (it will always be pounds and pence) so prices can never fall. With immigration, the immigrants can change status i.e. emigrate, become British citizens, or die therefore comparing this with inflation is where you have fallen over.
