UK net migration accounted for 96% of population growth last year

UK Oct 3, 2026 – Net migration accounted for 96% of the United Kingdom’s population growth last year, according to a statement shared by BRICS News.

The outlet posted the claim on X on Friday, writing: “JUST IN: 🇬🇧 Net migration accounted for 96% of the UK’s population growth last year.”

The statement refers to the UK’s population growth and attributes almost all of that increase to net migration. It does not state the total number of people involved, the overall population increase or the specific year meant by “last year”.

BRICS News shared the post from its verified @BRICSinfo account with a link for further details. The claim has not been independently verified by LNA.
