Terrifying immigration figures have shaken me to my core.

If this carries on, we will need 15 new cities the size of Birmingham by 2046:
I have written time and again in the Mail about the many problems associated with Britain’s experiment in uncontrolled mass migration. But these new figures have shaken me to my core.
By anyone’s reckoning, the latest numbers from the Office for National Statistics are simply staggering.
In the year to June 2023, net migration is now calculated at 906,000, a record high – and only a few tens of thousands shy of the deeply symbolic figure of one million.
That sum was, of course, revised up from an earlier, already eye-watering estimate of 740,000, after the ONS’s cack-handed statisticians simultaneously underestimated immigration – which in reality stands at 1.3million – and overestimated emigration, which accurately stands at 414,000.
To me, a huge question mark now stands over the ONS’s estimate for net migration in the year to June 2024, which it calculates at 728,000 – supposedly a 20 per cent fall on the previous year. Does anyone seriously think that will happen?
I suspect that this, too, will prove to be yet another gross underestimate, and that Britain’s immigration crisis –its gaping open border and the attendant social and economic costs that come with it – will only worsen.
Because 906,000 really is a terrifying figure – roughly equivalent to importing three cities the size of built-up Nottingham in a single year.
