Almost one in five people living in the UK were born abroad, said Reform UK Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf. He quoted figures from the Office for National Statistics, saying the number is a new record.
On social media, Yusuf said: '13.1 million foreign-born people lived here in 2024. That's up 143% in a decade. That's what the Tories and Labour did to this country. After promising repeatedly to cut immigration. Unprecedented betrayal.'
