Brexit Betrayal? How Conservative Migrant Policies Shaped Unprecedented UK Growth Spurt: Take Note U.S.

This surge, amounting to over four million individuals, has predominantly been attributed to the mass migration policies implemented by the Conservative government.

According to the latest population data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Tuesday, this marks the first comprehensive assessment of the country's population size since the 2021 Census. The figures reveal a notable 6.7 per cent rise in the UK's population, with approximately 67,596,281 people recorded by mid-2022, compared to figures from mid-2011.

The ONS had previously projected that the UK's population would surpass 70 million within the next two years, with estimations indicating a potential 10 per cent surge by 2036, bringing the total population to nearly 74 million individuals.

This demographic shift has predominantly been fueled by foreign migration, overshadowing internal growth, as birth rates have consistently remained below replacement levels during this period of population expansion.

Despite initial promises by the Conservative Party to curtail migration post-Brexit, recent trends have showcased a contradictory outcome, with net migration reaching record highs in the past two years, peaking at 1.2 million.

Additionally, a recent report from the Centre for Cities think tank cautioned that the escalating migrant population in London, a focal point of population growth, could strain essential services such as the National Health Service (NHS).

Despite mounting economic strains on the middle and working classes due to mass migration, and a prevailing sentiment among the populace to reduce foreign influx, the Conservative government appears disinclined to address this issue. The leadership's neoliberal stance in Downing Street often emphasizes the vague notion that migration contributes to GDP growth and economic prosperity overall.

Although the Conservative Party had previously committed to reducing net migration from "the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands" before several general elections, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and key figure George Osborne later disclosed that the party leadership never genuinely supported this pledge. Osborne acknowledged that the party could have restricted non-EU immigration pre-Brexit but opted against such measures.
