The Independent reports on the urgent call for action from shadow home secretary Chris Philp regarding the predicted rise in Britain's population to 72.5 million by 2032, driven largely by net migration. Philp advocates for a legal cap on visa issuances and suggests that the UK should encourage economically inactive adults to re-enter the workforce as a means to manage immigration dependency. The concern underscores a critical moment in British political discourse regarding immigration and population management amidst shifting demographic projections.
"Britain must halt a surge in its population after an official forecast predicted it will rise to 72.5 million people by mid-2032, the shadow home secretary has warned."
"Chris Philp said the shocking and unacceptable projection can and must be stopped from materialising, calling for a binding legal cap on the number of visas issued each year."
