It’s hard to believe that the two facts aren’t linked. The first stat is an absolute shocker. The OECD says the UK last year experienced/suffered the biggest surge in immigration of any rich country with 746,900 ‘’permanent’’ migrants moving here, up from 488,400 last year.
The 52.9% year-on-year rise in new arrivals outpaced all other OECD members. So, it was less about smashing the boats and more about smashing the records.
The second stat was unearthed, with a lot of difficulty, by Reform MP Rupert Lowe and must surely be connected with the incredible OECD numbers.
Despite the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) being unhelpful, Mr Lowe has discovered that 50,000 foreigners a month are signing on for Universal Credit.
That is taxpayers’ money, money we don’t possess. We know that because Rachel Thieves keeps telling us we are skint and yet we appear to have enough to hand out to people who have done nothing for our country, people who threw away their passports so they can’t be returned to their land and people who appear to have made us poorer.
Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, points out that in six of the last eight quarters where levels of migration hit new records the GDP per capita actually went down.
Skint and getting skinter. An attractive thought as we face five years of Socialism don’t you think?
The detail of that OECD report is terrifying. Of the wealthy nations which make up the OECD club only South Korea had an increase anywhere near the UK’s level, but even at 50.9% up the numbers were only 87,100.
Nigel Farage’s Reform is the only party taking immigration seriously, says Kelvin MacKenzie

Little old Britain also reported the second highest number of immigrants by raw numbers of arrivals. Only the US welcomes more last year, with 1.2million moving to America. Most days I wish I was one of them.
Remember what Labour said in it’s manifesto about migration? I quote; ‘’The overall level must be properly controlled and managed.’’ That went well then didn’t it.
The reality is these are historical numbers and the Tories under Sunak must take the blame. Why is it that no major political party, with the exception of Reform, takes mass migration seriously.
The public certainly does.
I saw some polling numbers the other day in which Reform, for the second month running, has added 1%. They are now at 19%. You would have thought that following their Election triumph of 4million voters (similar to Lib Dims) they would swiftly fall backwards. Not so.
True, the Tories are now ahead of Labour but honestly a dead cat would do better than Starmer who always looks to me as though he has just put his finger in a light socket.
