Employers in Britain have hired 27 young non-EU migrants for every one young British worker since 2020, according to new analysis by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) that highlights a stark displacement effect in the youth labour market.

Using His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) payroll data, the think tank found that the number of non-EU nationals under 25 in employment surged from 81,500 in January 2020 to 370,900 by December 2025, a rise of 289,400 or over 355 per cent

FIGURES published last Thursday showing that both net immigration and asylum claims are falling ‘are being used by Sir Keir Starmer to prove he’s turning things around and delivering for Britain’, the Telegraph reported.

People are not so easily taken in, however. The net migration figure of 171,000 last year – trumpeted as the lowest since 2012, and down from nearly a million in the year to 2023 – is created by taking away the number of people who left Great Britain from those who arrived. The figure that is not trumpeted is the roughly 246,000 British nationals who leave the UK each year to live abroad, of whom the latest stats show only about 110,000 return to the UK annually. This widening gap results in a net loss of more than 130,000 British a year and confirms that many are establishing lives overseas rather than coming back. Increasingly it is white, young and skilled Britons who are fleeing, as we reported at the beginning of the year. For the 12 months ending June 2025, 693,000 people left Britain, an increase of 40 per cent on 2022. Of those leaving, 230,000 were British nationals under 45 years of age.

As a foster carer, one of the first instructions we’re given in training is that we must not, under any circumstances, agree to collude in secrets with the children we care for. If a child I’m looking after asks me to keep a secret, I tell him or her gently that surprises are nice things to share, but secrets don’t keep us safe.

Official statistics have shown that asylum seekers in one English county are approximately 9,000% more likely to commit sexual or violent offences than their share of the local population would indicate, as protests against asylum accommodation—some turning violent—have intensified across Europe in the last week.

British Home Office asylum support data for the end of September 2025 recorded 618 asylum seekers in the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole council area, where most asylum accommodation is concentrated. With Dorset’s total population at approximately 800,000 to 820,000, and no asylum hotels recorded in the rest of the county, this equates to roughly 0.08% of the local population.

The left-wing U.K. government has claimed it is making real progress in tackling the ongoing migration crisis enveloping Britain after official statistics published on Thursday showed that net migration had decreased to 171,000 last year. However, that figure alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

“I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering,” under-pressure Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on X in response to the latest publication by the Office for National Statistics.
