Keir Starmer has overseen yet another jaw-dropping rise in Britain's population, as new figures show the the number of people in the country grew by more than three-quarters of a million in the last year.
The ONS has just published data revealing that the population grew by 755,254 in the year to June 2024, the second highest year on record.
Most of this was due to immigration, with only a small proportion accounted for by births.
This brings the UK population to 69.3 million, up by 1.1% on last year.
Only the year 2022 to 2023 breaks this record, with an even higher 890,049 seen during the Boriswave.
This is breaking news. More to follow.
