The mass migration policies of the ousted UK “Conservative” government have resulted in the largest population increase in recorded history.
The historic population rise beat out the previous highs of 484,000 and 478,000 seen in the years leading up to mid-2016 and mid-2011, respectively. Before that, the previous record occurred in the year up to mid-1962, which saw an increase of 461,000 as a result of the baby boom.
This came as a result of 1,084,000 foreigners immigrating to England and Wales from outside of the UK, compared to 462,000 who left the country in the year up to mid-2023.
Demonstrating the dominating impact of the open-door immigration agenda, the figures showed that absent migration the population would have actually declined, with the number of births in Britain falling by 21,900 to 598,400, which was outpaced by deaths, rising by 24,000 to 598,000 as the native population continues to age.
The population of England and Wales at mid-year 2023 was estimated to be 60.9 million.
Although increasing at a similar rate to the previous 12 months, the year to mid-2023 saw the largest annual increase in at least 75 years, up by almost 610,000.

Former Chancellor of the Exchequer and David Cameron’s globalist right-hand-man George Osborne admitted that the Conservative Party leadership never supported “the pledge in private and all would be glad to see the back of [it]” and that the party could have reduced non-EU-based immigration before Brexit but refused to do so.
This betrayal was a major contributor to the monumental collapse of the Tories in the general election earlier this month when the so-called Conservative Party suffered a net loss of 251 MPs, falling from 372 in 2019 to just 121 now, the lowest in the history of the centuries-old party.
Prior to his ousting, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak implemented some cuts to the number of visas to foreigners, resulting in a 34 per cent reduction of migrant workers, foreign students, and dependents, The Telegraph reports.
According to the Home Office, this will see net migration fall by around 300,000 from its current level of 685,000 in 2023. However, this will merely take migration back to Tony Blair-era levels, still far above the tens of thousands seen during most years in the 20th century.
While the new left-wing Labour government of Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to cut migration, it has refused to commit to an annual cap and is likely to face pressure from its open borders base to open up new visa and refugee schemes, with many on the left, including Labour MPs, calling for a Ukraine-style scheme to allow massive waves of Palestinians into the country.
