January 30, 2025Migration Watch Chairman Alp Mehmet said: Official figures from the ONS have revealed projected population growth by mid-2032 of almost five million people and of almost ten million people by 2047. This astonishing increase will be entirely due to immigration and the children of migrants. The projections are based on the assumption that net migration will fall to an annual 340,000, from 2029, which is unlikely without radical policy change.

October 08, 2024The UK population is estimated to have risen by 1.0% in the year to June 2023, the largest annual percentage increase since comparable data began in 1971. Responding, Migration Watch UK Chairman Alp Mehmet said: This is no surprise. It was inevitable given net migration of 745,000 in 2022 and 685,000 in 2023. Net migration of 600,000 is projected to lead to an increase in our population of 20 million people by mid to late 2040s.
