More than one million migrants may arrive in the United Kingdom this year.
Experts predict that over one million migrants will arrive in the United Kingdom this year, according to The Telegraph.
The report previously estimated that the maximum net migration total for 2023 would be around 675,000, ahead of official statistics scheduled to be issued by the UK government in the coming weeks.
However, the newspaper has subsequently revised the statistics upwards, with another group of experts now estimating a net migration total of up to 997,000, with gross migration numbers still expected to be higher.
“If emigration has reverted to pre-pandemic and pre-Brexit patterns, we could see net migration hit the one million mark,” Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) researcher Karl Williams remarked, adding that while such a number would “be at the very top end” of their estimates, it was “by no means an implausible figure”.
This amount has shocked lawmakers and pundits alike, with many criticising the Conservative Party government for allowing such a massive influx to occur.
“If only there was a department to actually deal with this!” Benjamin Loughnane of the right-leaning Bow Group remarked. ” Oh yes, it’s the Home Office, so why aren’t they doing anything?”
Even significant parts of the UK’s centre left have come out to bash the Tories over their love of mass migration, with Labour Party leader Keir Starmer saying that the figures show that the Conservatives have “lost control” of the borders.
“I think if we’re anywhere near that figure then it will show the government has completely lost control,” he said. “We need a managed approach and we haven’t got that.”
“Like almost everything else under this government, there’s no plan, there’s no control and, just like everything else, it seems like the system is broken,” Starmer — who is really meant to be the one pushing for open borders — went on to say.Mass migration into Britain however is likely to continue unimpeded, with the Sunak administration regularly making deals with foreign countries such as India to bring in even more migrants.
Some officials, such as globalist chancellor Jeremy Hunt, have even said that such mass migration — which is now orders of magnitude greater than it was before Brexit — is not a betrayal of the people’s decision to leave the EU.
