A Centre for Social Justice analysis found UK nationals filled only one in five of the 3.7 million new jobs between 2014 and 2025 (734,000), while non-EU nationals took about 2.5 million.

Since 2020, UK payroll numbers fell in nine of 12 regions as non-EU employment rose everywhere, amid a £50 billion rise in working-age benefits spending. Separately, UK Office for National Statistics data showed traditional British surnames have declined among newborns in England and Wales.

The 1996 top 10 were of British heritage, but by 2025 they included Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Hussain, Singh, Patel and Kaur, with Smith falling from 7,276 to 4,102 births.

  1. The situation is sad. Such a debasement of a once proud, strong and smart empire. Now it’s a psychiatrist patient soon to be outbreed and outnumbered by corrupt, uncivilized aliens.

  2. Hamish Badenoch is the husband of Kemi Badenoch the current leader of the UK Conservative Party
    Hamish Badenoch is white, of Scottish and Irish (Celtic) descent
    Badenoch is a Nigerian black British
    What is conservative about that?
    Very whacky

  3. For some perspective, the white UK population and christians are bybfar still majority.
