The UK population could rise significantly under the immigration approach associated with the Green Party leadership of Zack Polanski, according to analysis from investment bank Panmure Liberum. The report suggests that if net migration were to reach around 900,000 a year, the UK population could increase from 71.5 million in 2029 to 75.9 million by 2034. It contrasts this scenario with alternative policy trajectories, estimating lower population growth under proposals associated with other parties, including much tighter migration levels under Reform UK and more moderate inflows under Conservative policy assumptions. Under the Reform UK approach, net migration is projected at...

Spain’s Council of Ministers will approve on Tuesday a royal decree initiating an extraordinary regularisation process for nearly half a million migrants in the country, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced. In a post on X, Sanchez described the move as "normalisation," acknowledging the reality of nearly half a million people, calling it "an act of justice and a necessity." Underlining that Spain is ageing, Sanchez linked the role of migrants to the country being the fastest-growing economy in Europe. "Neither technology nor automation will solve this challenge on their own in the coming years. The path is clear: better integration,...

Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act. The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” So I read the bill. And...

The contrast between the grateful immigrants who once embraced America and the resentful newcomers who scorn it reveals how radically—and dangerously—the nation’s immigration ethos has changed. The Traditional ImmigrantSilicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded eBay, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo, and a host of others. The Greek American Elia Kazan’s 1963 film America, America is a fictional account based on the Herculean struggle of the director’s uncle to immigrate to the United States from an impoverished and hostile Turkish Anatolia. The film summed up Americans’ traditional view of immigrants:...

LARGE crowds of male migrants queued up to get paperwork in Spain after the country’s socialist PM offered to legalise the status of some half a million foreign nationals. Tech mogul Elon Musk then got into a row with left wing PM Pedro Sánchez on X over the policy, as the CEO re-shared a post which called the policy “electoral engineering”. The plan will give legal status to all foreign nationals who can prove they do not have a criminal record and had lived in Spain for at least five months before the start of 2026. Once approved, migrants will...

France has long been a launchpad for migrants hoping to cross the Channel and start a better life in Britain, where the centre-left Labour government is under pressure from the anti-immigration hard right to curb arrivals.

France is threatening to arrest British activists trying to stop migrants leaving French beaches on small boats bound for England. Sources close to Laurent Nunez, the French interior minister, said he wanted to see the Britons arrested for possible obstruction and aggravated violence. It follows a series of vigilante-style actions by Britons from the Raise the Colours movement, which encourages the widespread public display of flags bearing the Union Flag and St George’s Cross. Raise the Colours activists have published videos online of what they describe as “civilian border control” or “Operation Stop the Boats”. The films show them wading...

More than 800 migrants in 13 boats crossed the English Channel on Saturday, according to Home Office data. The figure is a record for a December day in recent years, and is believed to be due to a backlog of people wanting to get across to Kent because of recent bad weather.

More than 180 migrants crossed into Poland through a tunnel hidden in a forest on the border with Belarus, frontier guards said on Friday. Around 130 of them were detained in Poland after the passage was discovered on Thursday, but the rest were still on the run, the Polish Border Guard said in a statement. It released video of the tunnel dug through roots and bare earth, supported by wooden posts and metal rods and just 1.5 meters (5 feet) high – not enough for most people to pass through without crouching. European Union member Poland has been grappling with...
