Staggering gulf between reality and public opinion. Once again, so important for politicians to provide leadership in this area and not just react to public opinion - which results in bad policy. Depoliticise.
We asked respondents to estimate the proportion of UK immigration in each of these categories [By giving them 100 points to split between 4 categories]
Asylum: estimate 37% (actual: 7%)
Family: estimate 17% (actual 6%)
Work: estimate 26% (actual 40%)
Study: estimate 19% (actual 38%)

Depoliticisation of immigration is so important. As @colinyeo.bsky.social says, focus on outcomes.
Some thoughts from earlier this summer on longer-term reforms I think are needed at the Home Office.
1. Focus — really focus — on outcomes: controlling entry then either removal or integration. Stop doing stuff that gets in the way of these outcomes.
