EU nationals make up three-quarters of those who chose to return to their native country, in what official figures show as the largest drop since records began in net migration to Britain the past year.
Evidence suggests a “Brexodus” is taking place with official figures showing net migration to Britain fell by 106,000 to 230,000 in the past 12 months.
Professor of economics at King’s College London, Jonathan Portes, said the news suggests the UK has become a less attractive place to live and work. “If the government wants to make Brexit a success, it needs to reverse this,” he said.
