Ha I love this thought and tangent, so will weigh in for the good times with my limited knowlege. I don’t think I really buy it for a few reasons
1) (High confidence) Sunak is going to lose (98%ish chance according to markets) and I don’t think anything can stop that now, or even could have a year ago.
2) (Low confidence) I don’t think think elevated levels of immigration is necessarily “very unpopular”, or necessarily “one of the main reasons” for Sunak’s unpopularity. Won’t get into the nuance.
3) (Very Low confidence) I don’t really think Nigerian nurse immigration in particular is a big driver of the anti-immigration sentiment that is there. The undocumented economic migrant/refugee situation is more what people are concerned about I think. People know the NHS is under stress so I think medical immigration might be better understood?
