Contrary to longstanding promises from Britain’s ruling Conservative Party, net immigration is expected to remain in the hundreds of thousands for the foreseeable future, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) projected this week.
on her spring list expectationsThe Office for Budget Responsibility said net immigration will remain at around 245,000 annually through at least the 2026/27 fiscal year, with the estimate revised up by 40,000 more immigrants compared to its previous release in November.
Along with increases in asylum applications from Hong Kong and Ukraine, the statistics agency has pointed to the post-Brexit points-based immigration system implemented by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a key factor in continuing high waves of immigration, given that it fails to set a firm annual cap. to emigrate.
However, in comments provided to Breitbart London, Alp Mehmet, Head of Migration Watch UK, suggested that annual arrivals over the coming years could actually be even higher: “The BCA’s assumption of net immigration at a settlement of 245,000 per annum is unfounded. It was more than half a million in the year ending June 2022 and very likely higher throughout the entire past year.”
To expect it to be about a quarter of a million by 2026 is a fantasy. It also suggests that the government has no intention of controlling the scale of immigration, as the public would like.
“Failure to do so will only lead to a massive and unsustainable population increase, as has happened in just 20 years when it was the main driver of eight million growth in our population.”

Although many voters backed the Conservative Party in the 2019 election hoping to finally get a government free of EU rules and able to reduce the number of immigrants coming into the country, the opposite happened, as 1.1 million visas were issued. For foreigners and a net immigration of half a million last year – Almost doubled Peaks seen under Tony Blair’s left-wing Labor administration.
Since the days of David Cameron’s premiership from 2010 to 2016, Conservative governments have been constantly ranting about the idea of reducing the number of migrants coming into the country, pledging to reduce net immigration in their 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 election data, yet the numbers have continued to increase.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said during last summer’s leadership contest to replace Johnson – whom he lost – that if in office he would seek to limit immigration, but he refused to commit to a strict annual cap and has not taken any significant steps to restrict immigration since. He is installed in Downing Street in a globalization-supported coup against soon-to-be-submitted Prime Minister Liz Truss.
While Interior Minister Soyla Braverman has previously said the government should make good on its long-standing promise to the people to reduce net immigration to “tens of thousands,” her tenure in Cabinet has so far been consumed by failed attempts to solve the illegal boat problem. The migrant crisis in the English Channel rather than address legal mass immigration, although it has a much greater impact on the country’s demographic trajectory.
Recent data from the once-a-decade census reveals that the proportion of indigenous Britons in England and Wales has fallen to less than 75 per cent.
Despite promises to “take back control” of the state’s borders, the foreign-born population has risen from around 7.5m a decade ago to around 10.4m today – roughly equal to the populations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined, or about a sixth of the UK population overall. general.
