Only 30 per cent of Britons believe migrants are fully integrated into UK society, a bombshell GB News poll has revealed.

A staggering 46 per cent of respondents said immigrants have integrated not very well or not very well at all.


The figure increases to 51 per cent among voters who backed Brexit in 2016.

People Polling were commissioned by GB News to ask Britons a series of questions about modern society, including on transgenderism and low-speed zones.

It appeared to mirror other opinion polls about the national mood ahead of the next general election, with Labour attracting 49 per cent support and the Conservatives languishing behind on just 21 per cent.

Labour’s lead also reflects recent by-election successes in Tamworth, Mid Bedfordshire, Selby & Ainsty and Wakefield.

Such results point to a landslide general election victory for Sir Keir Starmer.

Around one-in-five 2019 Tory voters are now suggesting they will support either Labour or Reform UK.

People Polling’s Matthew Goodwin joined Nigel Farage in Cardiff tonight to discuss the findings.

He said: “I think it’s really interesting if you look at what the commentators in London are saying, particularly after Suella Braverman’s recent comments that multiculturalism might not be working.

“We have this narrative in London particularly that this is an unalloyed success story but actually when we asked voters across the country do you think that migrants are integrating well into Britain only 30 per cent of people feel that immigrations are integrating well into the rest of the country.”

He added: “I think actually this is a watershed moment in our debate about immigration and integration because it is simply no longer plausible after the events of the last few weeks to argue that immigration and multiculturalism are only ever positive because clearly that is not the case and many voters out there feel the same way.”

The polling comes just weeks after Home Secretary Suella Braverman voiced concern about multiculturalism in Britain.

Braverman said: "Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate.

"It has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it... And, in extreme cases, they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of society."

She added: "We are living with the consequence of that failure today. You can see it play out in the streets all over Europe from Malmo to Paris, Brussels to Leicester."

The findings also come amid increasing debate about events in Israel, with pro-Palestine protesters even tearing down posters dedicated to those taken hostage by Hamas terrorists.

Scotland Yard confirmed the number of hate crimes committed against Jewish people witnessed a 1,350 per cent increase as incidents spiked following Hamas' horrific onslaught against Israel.

Islamophobic offences have also soared by 140 per cent over the same period.

The representative survey was conducted by People Polling on October 23 with a sample size of 1,906.
