The population of England and Wales saw the biggest annual increase in 75 years because of growth driven by immigration, new estimates suggest.
In the year to mid-2023, the population grew by almost 610,000 to 60.9 million, according to the estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published on Monday.
This growth was primarily made up by the 1,084,000 people who were estimated to have migrated to England and Wales from outside the UK during that period.
An estimated 462,000 people emigrated from England and Wales, meaning net migration - the difference between the number of people legally arriving in the UK and leaving - totalled 622,000.
Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice says his constituents are "steaming mad" about the migrant crisis, as Keir Starmer delays limiting foreign workers until 2025.
Kevin O'Sullivan: "With this approach by Labour, we have no chance of solving this crisis whatsoever!"
