## Resource

Is Britain facing a demographic tipping point and a growing security crisis? New projections warn of millions more migrants, a falling birth rate, and deaths set to outnumber births, putting pressure on the UK economy, housing and public services. Laurie Wastell and economist Paul Johnson break down the migration surge, population growth and economic impact. Meanwhile, the political pressure ramps up on Keir Starmer, with a deepening Mandelson scandal, Labour MPs in revolt, and fresh accusations of a cover-up at the top of government. Former adviser Kevin Meagher reacts. And breaking news: Alex Hearn joins with the latest on the Golders Green stabbing, as counter-terror police investigate, raising urgent questions about public safety, extremism and policing in London.
