Full list of population change for local areas in England and Wales
Here is a full list of the estimated change in population for every local authority area in England and Wales between mid-2023 and mid-2024. Of the 318 local authorities, the population is estimated to have increased in 306 and decreased in 12. The figures have been published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The authorities with the largest percentage increase and decrease, City of London and Isles of Scilly respectively, have very small populations which means they have outlying results. The list is ordered by the size of percentage change in population, starting with the largest increase. It reads, from left to right: name of local authority; estimated population in mid-2024; percentage change compared with mid-2023; estimated population (in brackets) in mid-2023.

Standards watchdog opens Nigel Farage probe after peer complaint
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is under investigation by Parliament's standards watchdog. The probe concerns the 'registration of an interest' and stems from a complaint made by a member of the House of Lords. Mr Farage said that the inquiry is not related to any undeclared income. The investigation began on 28 July and falls under paragraph 5 of the code of conduct, which governs the timely registration of financial interests and benefits. This follows a recent case where Chancellor Rachel Reeves was found to have inadvertently breached parliamentary rules by failing to declare gifts on time.

Rivers can sue people, council rules
A British river has been given the right to sue after it was granted 'personhood' in a council vote. Test Valley borough council in Hampshire has voted unanimously to recognise the river as an independent legal entity to protect the waterway from sewage overflows, pollution and over-extraction. As a result, the river has the right to sue a person or company responsible for damaging its quality and infringing on its right to 'flow unimpeded'. The chalk stream, known for being the birthplace of fly fishing and its appearance in the novel Watership Down, has been granted the right to be 'free from pollution', as well as be fed by freshwater sources. The vote has also recognised the need for the restoration of ecological integrity and regeneration from environmental harm. The move also embeds the rights of the river in planning, development and biodiversity policies. 'Wonderful bounty of nature' The council voted in favour of Cllr Geoff Cooper's motion to recognise the rights of the river. Liberal Democrat Cllr Cooper said: 'What this motion tries to do is set out protections for our rivers and waterways, it is not just about pointing your fingers at the water company, it is all the factors that endanger our rivers.' Large sections of the waterway, which runs from Ashe 40 miles south to the tidal estuary of Southampton Water, are sites of special scientific interest with over 100 types of plant along its banks and more than 200 animal species in and around it. The main species found in the river are endangered Atlantic salmon, trout, kingfisher, grey wagtail and little grebe birds. However, salmon numbers have plummeted dramatically in recent years from 906 fish returning from the sea in 2019 to just 346 last year. Cllr Janet Burnage, a fellow Lib Dem, added: 'Without the River Test, its tributaries and all the other rivers that flow through Test Valley, we would not have the wonderful bounty of nature around us. 'We must maintain the rivers for the sake of the natural environment.'
