Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warns that the UK is facing a population crisis due to expected net migration reaching 340,000 by 2028, contributing to a growing population of around 72.5 million by 2032. He stresses that this influx will strain the nation's infrastructure, particularly in housing and healthcare, stating that even significant housing developments will not be sufficient. Farage's perspective highlights a real concern about quality of life and public services as they face increased pressure from this surge in population driven largely by immigration, while the Office for National Statistics (ONS) aligns this growth with past trends rather than future predictions.
This is the biggest issue that faces our country. Even if we build the 1.5 million homes that Labour say they'll build, that won't be enough to cope with the numbers.
Our quality of life for all of us is diminishing directly as a result of the population explosion. The steeper our population rises, through immigration, the poorer per head we get in this country.
The UK population is projected to grow by almost 5 million over the next decade, with migration driving this growth and natural changes being almost zero.
These projections are based on current and past trends, and aren't forecasts about what may or may not happen in the future.
