Reform UK MP Richard Tice has called for British people to have more children following demographic projections that suggest white Britons will become a minority by 2063.Whilst acknowledging he hadn't studied the research in detail, Tice emphasised the need for policies that support British families.The research, conducted by Professor Matt Goodwin and based on Office for National Statistics and census data, projects that the white British share of the population will decline to 57 per cent by 2050 before falling below half in 2063.The analysis suggests that by 2100, white British people could represent just 33.7 per cent of the UK population.READ THE FULL STORY HERE

00:00But when you talk about British born, are you reflecting Professor Matt Goodwin's research during the week, that white minority report?
00:07Are you concerned about that, Mr Tice, this idea that white British people could be in a minority in this country by 2063?
00:16Is that why you're saying more British people should have babies?
00:21Yeah, the reality is, yes, we want more British people to be able to feel that they can grow a family.
00:29And that's a very good thing. I've not studied Mr Goodwin's research in details.
00:34It may or may not be accurate based on whatever assumptions. Who knows?
00:37But look, at the end of the day, let's just focus on making people better off.
00:42And the way you do that is encouraging work, encouraging risk taking from entrepreneurs.
00:47And that's how you encourage economic growth. And I think it's a really good thing.
00:52And I just repeat this thing. It's really important. Family, community, that leads to a better country.
00:58And that's our values. That's what we stand for. And funnily enough, it seems to be resonating.
01:02We're leading the polls and we nearly caused a huge upset in Scotland in the by-election on Thursday night.
01:08And in what was a three... Well, but, you know, I mean, we've caused a seismic shock to Scottish politics.
01:14Despite all the ridiculous, beastly, nasty words they said about us.
01:17I know.
01:18Guess what? The slogan, Drill Scotland, drill, seems to be resonating.
01:21I know.
