Mass migration is set to account for all growth of the United Kingdom‘s population. According to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Britain’s population is projected to grow by nearly five million within the next decade, mostly due to immigration.
Estimates indicate the population could rise to 72.5 million by 2032, marking a 7.3 percent increase from 2022. This compares with 6.1 percent growth over the previous decade.
Net immigration is expected to account for most of this increase, with an estimated 4.9 million people contributing to the population rise. The ONS data forecasts that both births and deaths will be approximately equal by 2032, and there will be an increase of 1.7 million retirees.
Between mid-2022 and mid-2032, the United Kingdom is projected to see 6.8 million births and an equal number of deaths, with 9.9 million people immigrating and 4.9 million emigrating out of the country.
The ruling leftist Labour government claims it wants to reduce migration levels but refuses to implement an “arbitrary” cap.
Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party, commented on the new forecast, saying that the statistics show that the figures will remain the same regardless of whether there is a Labour or Conservative government. “Our quality of life, for all of us, is diminishing directly as a result of the population explosion,” Farage said, adding that the faster immigration rises, the poorer individual Britons get.
Reform has surged in recent polling, with one poll putting them in the lead nationally, ahead of the ruling Labour Party and the Conservatives.
