The latest immigration figures are in and they’ve got people talking, and not in a quiet way. Since 2020, Britain’s population has grown by a staggering 2.65 million people due to net migration alone. That’s nearly 4 per cent of the population in just four years. Basically, one in every 25 people now living in the UK has arrived since 2020. Let that sink in.
Last year, net migration was 431,000. Yes, that’s nearly half what it was in 2022, when it hit an eye-watering 860,000, but it’s still historically high. That 2023 figure is around 100,000 more than the level we saw around the Brexit referendum, and almost 80 per cent higher than the average during the 2010s. It’s also seven times what we had in 1990, reported GB News.
