Migrant households are siphoning almost £1 billion in welfare benefits every month in Britain, a report has claimed.
The Telegraph highlights government figures from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) which reveal that registered households with at least one foreign national in March received £941 million in universal credit.

The figure just three years ago was £461 million, meaning it’s on course to double in just half a decade.
It’s hardly surprising given the massive increase in mass migration to the country under the so called Conservative government.
2023 saw migration climb to a record of 906,000. The latest data shows that 948,000 people came to Britain in 2024.
Migrants are eligible to apply for universal credit as soon as they acquire residential or refugee status in the Britain.
The report notes, however, that the total cost to the taxpayer of foreigners is way higher, when healthcare, education, and housing are factored in.
A recent study conducted by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) discovered that housing asylum seekers, a great deal of whom are in the country illegally, has increased to approximately £4.7 billion a year.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage commented that leftist Prime Minister Kier “Starmer is choosing migrant benefits over winter fuel for pensioners.”

“On the day that we learn migrant benefits cost us £1bn a month, many hundreds are currently crossing the English Channel. Labour are ruining our country,” Farage urged.

£1 billion a month to bankroll illegals while Brits queue at food banks, sleep in cars and get told there’s “no budget” for cancer care.

This isn’t just unsustainable. It’s national betrayal.
And the boats? They’re not a crisis. They’re a conveyor belt.
Every dinghy that lands…
£1 billion a month.

While British pensioners ride the bus to stay warm.
While veterans die alone in bedsits.
While parents skip meals to keep the lights on.
But Starmer’s priorities?
? Full benefits for foreigners.
? No heating for your gran.
?? No loyalty to the people who…
?£0.5bn more per month than March 2022. This is an astonishing rise. Perhaps we need to be more like Denmark. There residents with less than 9 years residence or under 2.5years full time employment to qualify. Else, families receive a sufficiency payment of €800 (50% reduction…

The migrant problem in Britain has gotten so advanced that even Starmer himself has had to pivot, admitting this month that mass migration has failed and undermined social cohesion to such an extent that Britain risks becoming an “island of strangers”.

More news on our radar
All the while, our sickening excuse for a government is planning to take benefits away from native disabled people. At least 100 Labour MPs are threatening to rebel against those plans, though it remains to be seen.
And the brits do nothing and will continue to do nothing about it.
Just anecdotes non-stop from England, total nonsense, but the mob believes it.
To little too late!
The belief that things might still be turned around by even more tinkering with the asylum system, welfare, healthcare, education and employment provisions, is completely delusionary now as the downward spiral of Britain and its most of its European neighbours into final deprivation and collapse, has been allowed to run rampant for much too long, i.e, 50 years plus too long.
Extreme hard-nose solutions have now become necessary and will need to be implemented with a clear head and with absolutely no misgivings.
The UK is run by commies (Der Starmer) and mooselums (Suckdick Con)
Whilst these legal migrants can no longer be deported, I was under the impression that legal migration was (mostly) restricted to higher earners doing skilled jobs for which we have a shortage. So how come we have so many unskilled, albeit legal migrants? The answer, it would seem, is a complete overhaul of the visa system so that ONLY highly skilled and shortage occupations are allowed in.
NO more bringing family members, foreign students REQUIRED to leave as soon as their studies are over and perhaps most importantly, round up and immediately deport ALL foreigners with no right to be here – NO appeals, NO ECHR, gone. Then, free up 10,000+ prison places by immediately deporting foreign prisoners and bar them from returning. Finally, blockade the English Channel. ALL dinghies to be turned around and sent back to France, no exceptions: France is a safe country!
