The survey found 8% of those aged 18 to 30 are actively planning to emigrate, while another 20% are seriously considering it.

And 30% have briefly thought about leaving.

Just 35% said they have never thought about moving abroad.

The Reform UK leader said: “It’s sad but not a surprise that ambitious young Brits are increasingly looking overseas for opportunities.

“High taxes and stagnant wages have crushed aspiration and punished hard work. This can't go on.
