Interesting. The start of Matt’s piece:
I’ve been on the road around Europe meeting with politicians to discuss the similar problems we are facing and how to fix them. This included delivering a speech to Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. A transcript of the speech is below.
Why is British politics experiencing a historic political ‘realignment’ that will, if the polls are correct, deliver a Reform-led government, headed by Nigel Farage?
To answer this question, let me first set out a few facts about what is currently underway in Britain.
By the year 2063, white Britons will be a minority in the country.
Among the under-40s, this will happen much earlier, potentially as early as the year 2050 —only twenty-five years away.

In England, already today, more than 40 per cent of all babies have at least one parent who was born outside the country, with the most common including India, Pakistani, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Ghana, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
By 2100, by the end of this century, one in four British adults and roughly one in three young people, unless we change the direction of travel, will follow Islam.
Today, more than one million people in Britain do not speak English, while in more than 2,000 schools a majority of children do not speak English as their first language.
