back, is there? noah is in second. and in case you're wondering, apparently olivia is the most popular girl's name. there are some interesting names in there, though. jacks is 87th most popular. enzo bodie there at 95th and 100th respectively. i would politely ask who looks at their child and says, oh, he looks like a bodie, doesn't he? obviously, we're not actually allowed to know what mohammed looks like, and we certainly aren't allowed to draw our guesses on a piece of paper, so we'll leave that there. but the names are one thing, but there's a bigger story here. 1 in 3 babies are born to mothers who were born in a foreign country. indian mums came out on top. thenit indian mums came out on top. then it was pakistani mothers . then it was pakistani mothers. afghans are in the top ten. so are bangladeshis as well. look, i can't help but wonder whether or not we've given our passport away a little bit too easily. there is now an irreversible demographic and cultural change in britain. unfortunately, our political class decided that great britain is not really a country with its own culture. they saw it more as a plot of

land that some people just happen to live on. i don't think it will be long before you walk outside your front door, really, and you'd be forgiven for wondering what country you were actually really in. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening . we've got former tory evening. we've got former tory mp and first, we've also got the wonderful columnist and broadcaster esther krakow and the former labour party adviser matthew laza. and a welcome along. great to have you on the show. this evening. and i'll start. i'll start with you then. i mean, for me, the bigger stat, i mean, for me, the bigger stat, i suppose, really is not not so much the name mohammed. it's more about the fact that 1 in 3 children, i think now are born to mothers who were born outside of the uk. are you are you concerned about the direction of travel here, do you think? >> well, i am concerned, but the stat, patrick, that i thought you were going to say, but you didn't . oh, is that actually our didn't. oh, is that actually our birth rate people? brits are not reproducing. that's what i was going to. birth rate is now down to 1.44. that's the lowest on record. we are not replacing ourselves. the replacement rate

2.1. we're miles away from that. thatis 2.1. we're miles away from that. that is the absolute elephant in the room here. we have an ageing population. that's the massive demographic change we've got. we've got a diminishing working population and we are not reproducing ourselves. we have got to have this is the elephant in the room and no government really wants to tackle it. we have got to have more family friendly policies to encourage people to actually have kids. >> i mean, over the last five years, 90% of population increase has been due to immigration. so we're not actually increasing naturally. which should would would be the preferable option . i mean, i preferable option. i mean, i think the whole sort of yes, mohammed is the most popular male name, but i think it's more of what it says about the culture. so it's some cultures are having more children than others. so 62% of births last i think over the last two years were to white, ethnically white british people, but they make up over 80% of the population. so clearly there is a disconnect there. some some communities are having more children. i mean, you talked you talked about 1 in 3 children being born to mothers that were not born in britain.

well, most of those mothers are actually romanian. the demographic with the highest, the highest number romanians. exactly. and the issue is the birth rate. why are brits having so few children? why is it so expensive? again, immigration features in this. expensive? again, immigration
