If you step down as an mp under one party how can you then become an mp of an other ,you were voted in as an mp under the Conservative Party then you should step down . Then put yourself up as the labour mp and ask the labour voters too vote you back in.

We had 1.2 MILLION people come into the U.K. last year take away the just over 500,000 who left and we had a net increase of 672,000 in 2023. Add to that the net increase in 2022 of 742,000 and the few who turn up on the beaches is tiny. What I want to know is why do all the politicians keep those figures quiet?

@Kohanman 18 күн бұрын

lol why dont u also include the number of people born and dying if you really wanna talk about stats

@Mr9ig 17 күн бұрын

@@Kohanman no problem births in England and wales for 2022 these are the latest available was 605,479. Deaths in England and wales for 2021 the only official figures could find was was 667,479 so as you can see these figures balance each other. So your point is lost on me. Our population is increasing by roughly 600,000 year on year over and above births and deaths.
