Immigration was named as a top issue by 27 per cent of voters in the latest data published on the first day of the election campaign, continuing the steady rise in attention to the issue over the past two years.

Among Conservative voters immigration is still the main key issue of concern although negative sentiment around immigration as somewhat eased over recent years.

However among Labour voters, immigration is not seen as an issue and if Labour wins the coming general election, this will be the first ever government with a majority pro-immigration support base.

Immigration is the number one issue for Conservative voters in the latest Ipsos polling, but doesn't even appear in the top five for Labour.

Some 54 per cent of Tory voters believe it is a key issue for the them.

Conservatives are facing a loss of core voters to Reform if they fail to speak on the issue of immigration.

Something which Richard Tice and Reform are certainly tapping into and making gains on.
