We’re always talking GDP figures, as we know. Those of us that are slightly older remember when GDP growth was two and a half to three per cent every year and the world seemed fine.

Well, now there basically is virtually no GDP growth whatsoever. The figures we got out today for the last quarter were utterly miserable, showing growth of 0.1 of a per cent.


But the really interesting thing, and what nobody seems to want to talk about is GDP per capita. What is wealth? How do we measure it by the individual.

Once again it was down. And here’s the thing, since the fourth quarter in 2022, GDP per capita has increased in two courses but fallen in six.

We are getting poorer, and yet it seems to be the only way we get any GDP growth at all is through mass migration.

Why? Because there are more people. The economy is that little bit bigger.

That’s what GDP measures. It measures the size overall of the productive economy.

I think it’s becoming clearer and clearer that mass migration is making us poorer as a country in every way.

Interestingly, since the mass migration experiment began, productivity has fallen as well.

Nigel Farage said mass migration will cost the country in the long run

I remember for so many years people saying ‘Nigel, you may be right, you may have your concerns about population growth.

‘You may have your concerns about culture and integration, but hey, they’re all coming in to work.

‘It’s good for the economy. So why don’t you shut up and order another pint?’

Actually, what we’ve learned is the vast majority of those that have been coming in the last few years don’t work at all.

Those that do, if they’re in low skilled jobs overall, are going to cost the economy in the long run.
