'Net migration is the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK (immigration) and the number of people leaving to live elsewhere (emigration), for 12 months or more. When more people are arriving in the UK than leaving, net migration is above zero and so adds to the population.' Farage wants that number to become 'net zero' - he has always said that.
He would have 600k annual migration which is defined as 'someone who changes their country of usual residence for a period of 12 months or more, so that the country of destination effectively becomes the country of usual residence.'

'Net migration exceeded natural change for most of the past two decades in the UK.
Population estimates show that net migration was a major component of population growth over the past two decades, making up 68% of UK population growth from 2005 to 2024 (Figure 1). Natural change—i.e., the difference between the number of births and deaths—has declined since 2011, and fell into negative territory in 2023. As a result, net migration has accounted for 99% of population growth since 2020.'

'In 2024/25, the average daily cost of housing an asylum seeker in a hotel can be estimated at £170 per person, compared to £27 for other types of accommodation— over six times more expensive. Even when including the cash allowance people in dispersal receive, which those in hotel generally do not, hotel-based accommodation remained significantly more expensive at £171 per person per day, versus £34 for other types.'

'According to the United Nations, Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the highest rates of single motherhood globally, with estimates suggesting that nearly 30–40% of children are raised by single mothers. Countries like South Africa report up to 60% of children living without their biological fathers.'

@MontgomeryToms The bible was written by around 40 different authors over approximately 1,000–1,500 years. Thats gotta be the longest game of Chinese whispers.
£500k /week, stands like a princess in headlights… then couldn’t even tap it in after a dramatic fall that won a penalty.

How to become Prime Minister in modern Britain:
• Be a nobody and get selected by one of the main parties.
• Win a by-election in a constituency that hardly anyone has heard of.
• Have your own MPs vote you in because nobody else wants the job.
• Avoid a general election.
• Move into No. 10.
• Tell 70 million people how they should live.
Congratulations. You’ve completed the tutorial.
As the first day of nominations draws to a close, I am deeply grateful to the 322 Labour MPs who have put their trust in me and nominated me for Leader of the Labour Party.
Their support comes from across the PLP and reflects a shared belief that Britain needs a new approach to politics.
That is the circuit breaker I am offering: power out of Westminster, an economy rewired for ordinary people, and good growth in every postcode.
I want to empower MPs to bring the experiences of their constituents into the heart of government, and harness the full breadth of our Labour movement, drawing on all its traditions and beliefs in pursuit of a common purpose.
I want to thank every colleague who has nominated me for their commitment to that vision.

Well, I for one have stopped noticing the closed shops, pubs, graffiti, phone thefts, lack of jobs, lack of houses, unpunished paedos, dangerous men, rapes, murders, taxes, unfair law, racist police and the threat to our kids.
After all, some bellend has a bin on his head.
