The Home Office may not be keen but master’s students seem happy

James Cleverly, the new home secretary, is a man with decisions to make. Having placed his frequent flyer points catalogue to one side, he must now make sense of a post-Brexit immigration policy that, according to revised figures by the Office for National Statistics, saw net migration hit 745,000 last year.

He has made headlines since his appointment.
