The UK’s population grew by nearly 7% between 2011 and 2022 to an estimated 67.6 million people. This is an increase of more than 4 million people, largely as a result of mass immigration policies by a government believed to be Conservative.

Despite the economic impact of mass immigration on the middle and working classes and the fact that the majority of the country wants to reduce the influx of foreigners, the Conservative government has been unable to maintain its ties with the neoliberal leadership in Downing Street.
