68% of the increase in the UK’s population growth between 2005 and 2024 was due to net migration, and ONS projections assume this will rise to 144% in the coming years—in other words, the population would decline without net migration. See our updated briefing for more.

This is what people voted for...fucking hell :D Bizarre moment Reform Councillor Kieran Lay, Thorne and Moorends Ward, asks Full Council for measures to monitor UFO activity as part of reopening Doncaster Sheffield Airport. Step 1- Work towards cutting council tax. Step 2- Set up a panel for UAP sightings. Couldn't make this up... #doncasterreform #reform

@rhunt321 Was with my mum and a girlfriend on the Midland Road side, both now passed away. Remember the sight of the smoke rising above the ground as we went home up Wakefield Road on the bus.

41 years ago today I went to watch Bradford City vs Lincoln City with my dad and my sister. We were lucky. We came home again. 56 people didn’t Please take a moment today to remember them, their families and the countless others still carrying the scars of that day #BCAFC

🚨 NEW: Panorama investigated Christopher Harborne’s £10m donation to the Brexit Party back in 2020 - now, years later, fresh questions are being raised under strikingly similar circumstances. The old clip of Nigel Farage hanging up on a BBC interviewer when pressed about Harborne is resurfacing again.

@ParkerTandA @Bradford_TandA Was there 41 years ago, thank you for this very well written report

Sawubona - I see you Another powerful memorial service to mark 41 years since the Valley Parade fire disaster @Bradford_TandA #bcafc thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/26095746.…

Reform Latest 2 councillors died before election Several now suspended for various bits of bigotry At least 1 doesn’t exist Others want to stand down cos they didn’t know it’s unpaid 1 thought he would be in Parliament They don’t need a Whip, they need a Missing Persons Officer

Another five bite the dust: Five Reform UK Councillors resign days after being elected.

Reform UK activist Matthew Mackinnon who wrote the Reform Wales Manifesto is banned from every Football Ground in The UK for Violent Behaviour.

24 hours after the UK local elections and already three Reform Party candidates are gone. One for electoral irregularities One resigned saying he didn't want to do the job One has left the country for reasons unknown

Reform candidate Stuart Prior being confronted about racist and white supremacist social media posts. It's a mystery why my racist party of racists keeps attracting racists.

We live in some horrific times. Fuck Reform.

Reform candidate Jay Cooper who said the Holocaust was a hoax is now a Reform Councillor. I imagine we will be hearing endlessly about this antisemitism...

1 bit the dust already: Reform UK paper candidate who was elected in Bradford, Daniel Devaney, has resigned already saying he doesn't want to be a councillor and has gone away on holiday.

We're so cooked. My man actually believes asylum-seekers get £5k to help them open a corner shop

Two years ago, Bradford City were drifting. Now they are three games away from the Championship 🚀 ✍️ @danielstorey85 #BCAFC inews.co.uk/sport/football…

@NathanA_TandA @Bradford_TandA Good article, think my late dad won a frame against Joe Johnson in an exhibition match in Bradford where Joe played multiple opponents on different tables

An absolute honour to speak to one of the great #Bradford sporting names in Joe Johnson, as we caught up with him at The 147 Sports Bar in Odsal, 40 years to the day since he became World Snooker Champion 🙌 @Bradford_TandA thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/26080339.…

I didn’t know this! Revelatory! The actual word derives from the (French) sound of the block of print clicking into place…

Paul Simmons is Reform UK’s candidate in Thames Ditton & East Molesey, East Surrey. If you’re going to post mocking videos of AI Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan in an extra-marital love affair - calling them gay, Paul, perhaps don’t also be on Adult Hub looking for casual hook ups with Cross Dressing and Trans swingers. It’s hypocrisy. What’s worse is you are standing for Reform UK and describe yourself as Gender Neutral, your own party wants to “ban trans ideology” and opposes gender-fluid recognition.

Another excellent #BCAFC attendance today... The average League attendance at Valley Parade this season has been 20,444 - the highest since 1921/22 when the club was in the top tier (21,815). Also the first time since then to have had TEN games with gates exceeding 20,000.

4 days to go till I ride down to @OfficialECFC and back again for @officialbantams final game of the season. I am raising money for @DarbyRimmerMND . #AttackMND #ecfc #bcafc justgiving.com/page/ben-mccre…
