By mid-2028, the population of the UK is set to increase by three million to 69.4 million, primarily driven by immigration.The government statistics agency made that immigration prediction based on the average annual net long-term international migration of 190,000. That figure is derived from the average immigration figures from mid-1993 to mid-2018. In terms of gross immigration, 5.4 million people are expected to immigrate long-term to the UK in the ten years to mid-2028.

According to projections published on Monday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 73 per cent of the growth is predicted to be due to the net international immigration of 2.2 million people. Less than one-third, 27 per cent, of the increase will be due to natural population growth (more births than deaths).

Mass immigration, cries of racism and political polarization. It’s not just happening in the U.S. — it’s the story across Europe where western societies are faced with a sudden influx of immigration and refugees. Eric Kaufmann is studying the global trends. He’s a professor of politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, where we spoke with him. His book is: “White Shift: Populism, immigration and the future of white majorities.”
