White Britons will be MINORITY in UK within next 40 years, new report suggests

Currently, 73 per cent of the British population is white, but this is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050.

Research by GB News presenter and professor at Buckingham University, Matt Goodwin, projects a significant increase in the number of individuals from foreign-born and second-generation immigrants, rising from below 20 per cent to 33.5 per cent within the next 25 years.

By 2100, the report suggests that 60 per cent of the UK will either have at least one immigrant parent or will not have been born in the UK.

The Muslim population is estimated to rise to 19.2 per cent by the end of the century, with it currently standing at seven per cent.

Goodwin said that the research is based on census data and the Office for National Statistics, and will raise "profound questions about the capacity of the UK state to both absorb and manage this scale of demographic change".

He added that many voters favour lowering immigration and "their concerns will need to be recognised, respected and addressed".

The analysis suggested that the white population, including white British and other white people, would become a minority by 2079.

Goodwin said: "By the end of the current century, most of the people on these islands will not be able to trace their roots in this country back more than one or two generations.

"By the year 2100, based on our projections, six in 10 people in the UK will not have been born in the UK or born to two UK-born parents.

"This raises enormous questions about the capacity of our country and leaders to unify people around a shared sense of identity, values, ways of life, and culture, and avoid the very real risk of us becoming what Sir Keir Starmer referred to in May as 'an island of strangers'."

The report suggested the share of the population that is UK-born will drop to 39 per cent from 81 per cent by the end of the century.

In 2022, it was revealed that London and Birmingham have become minority white British.

A 2023 ONS report stated 46 per cent of Londoners were from black and minority ethnic groups.

A census from the Birmingham City Observatory noted in 2021 that the percentage of white people had declined from 57.9 per cent to 48.6 per cent between 2011 and 2021.
