I dunno, a single version of me probably wouldn’t say no
It’s the suggestive smirk that suggests BJ successes, not failures.

One and the same! Not sure he will be able to rely on any Government support now!
Billionaires are the real problem with him society right now.
All our progress as a species has stalled since these parasites came along.
What has Ratcliffe actually added in terms of value to this country? All he does is come in and ruin institutions.
Its a shame he has to use wrong figures and phrases like we are being colonised because it means you can just dismiss him completely.
But the UK does have a huge immigration issue that consecutive governments refuse to address and have only made the situation to spiral.
A population increase of 10mill since 2000 to 2024 can only put a huge strain on everything. A huge new population base to house, feed and give jobs to. Massive strain on house prices, rents, more competitive wages. How do you adequately fund the public services such as NHS or GP’s or schools to support the strain of an extra 10mill people over 2 decades?
Because of the economic profile of immigration. We’re in a situation where the demand for all services is going up whilst the average net fiscal contribition per person in the UK is going down (amount govt spends vs tax collection /no. of people).
The demographics are fucked, it will only get worse. Theres no 20/30 year planning of what our immigration policy needs to look like to alleviate this issue. Instead the lack of policy is only speeding up this cliff we are heading towards.

Ratcliffe is just wrong and presents his argument in a stupid way.
The reason why Treasury orthodoxy favoured an increase of immigration post covid is because they are net contributor from day one and boost productivity, these are facts. Unlike native born people the state hasnt paid for their education and they’re ready to work in labour intensive areas like social and health care without any automatic right to benefits. That’s why the"Boriswave" happened and the underlying numbers are true.
If people want to offer commentary about culture clash, assimilation and pace of immigration then fine. I personaly supported the rwanda scheme and I would prejudice immigration policy against people from particular countries like Afghanistan but pretending that immigration is source of all of the woes in this country is just not correct and its xenophobic.
The average net fiscal contribition per person in the UK is going down because you have larger and increasing numbers of pensioners who completely dominate an disproportionate share of government spending via the NHS, Adult Social care and triple locked pensioners whilst a shrinking base of productive young people pay for it.
This same group of pensioners and boomers viciously block any attempt to make the country better such as planning reform, progressive taxation re or abolishing the triple lock whilst being the richest age group in terms of assets and wealth despite their drain on the system far exceeding what they put in.
Immigration is genuinely not in the top 5 issue facing the UK, I say that as someone who is a restrictionist on immigration.

Would it be wild to assume that since 2020.. babies have since been born?
Well I’m not sure that I would be confident that births are the driver of population growth given what we’re told about falling birth rates.
I would be interested to know the economic impact of Boomers / Gen X reaching retirement, dominating the resources of public services and blocking reforms versus that of immigration, particularly when many immigrants enter the work force and prop up those failing public services.

You can derive the data from ONS yearly report on impact of taxes and benefits on household income. Table 23.
