UNITED KINGDOM — The UK population has hit 68.3million after huge net immigration sparked the biggest rise since the 1970s. Numbers went up by 1 per cent in the year to June 2023, from 67,602,800 to 68,265,200.
The rise could have been even steeper but the estimated net inflow of 677,300 from abroad was offset by 16,300 more people dying than being born. Apart from the Covid pandemic, it was the first time so-called 'natural change' has been negative across the UK since 1976... dailymail.co.uk
