Why is the UK (still) dependent on a migrant workforce?

Well, a key contributing factor is employers' attachment to low pay & dismal terms & conditions of employment.

So, let's not blame migrants for seeking out jobs in their new country; lets be clear, its the UK's employers, their labour cost-focussed management mind-set & their continuing rubbish management practices that are the real problem here.

We need a sea change in employment practice(s)!
