Labour’s immigration crackdown criticism does not include a cap on the number as Keir Starmer plans to fully unveil plans, meaning that arriving will have to “earn to enjoy rights” in the UK
Labour’s plan to address spiral immigration was dismissed last night because it did not contain a “ridiculous” number cap.
Sir Keir Starmer’s commitment to cut immigration will be unveiled today, but critics immediately questioned how he would measure its success.
The Prime Minister will vow that “the number of immigrants will decline.” Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the plan meant a net immigration figure of 728,000 last year, but refused to propose a numerical cap, saying it was a “failed approach.”
Less than two weeks after today’s announcement, another wave of public anger over immigration in the UK rose again, winning local elections, causing a series of destructive defeats to Labor.
Sir Kyle will talk today about overhauling the system and giving people coming to the UK the right to hospital. But critics say the plans are nothing new and question Labour’s interest in implementing them.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said it was “ridiculous” to fail to impose limits on numbers. He told the Mail: “Labor will not set migration targets because they know they will blow it up.
“In terms of immigration, Starmer does not support workers, he backed down.
“Starmer is the same man who wrote letters protesting the deportation of dangerous foreign criminals and overseeing the worst start of illegal immigration across the passage.”

A tweet from the Prime Minister yesterday said “British workers – I get your reward”, given that his party increased its national insurance contribution to businesses last month, resulting in many layoffs while others slowed down or stopped hiring.
Under today’s proposal, immigrants will be required to stay in the UK for ten years before applying for citizenship and need to have a good grasp of English.
The white paper will also attempt to use human rights laws to prevent deportation from ending scandals of failed asylum seekers and foreign criminals. The minister is expected to change the law to limit judges’ interpretation of elements of the European Convention on Human Rights. They will target Article 8, which protects the right to family life and is often used by lawyers to prevent evacuation of false reasoning.
But Ms Cooper said she would ban recruitment overseas and while requesting the company to train British workers, ministers faced strong opposition from the nursing department yesterday and warned of a possible collapse. The number of people claiming asylum rose from 91,811 in 2023 to a record 108,138 last year. This year, more than 11,500 people crossed the channel on the boat, which is also a record.
This year, the National Bureau of Statistics expects the average net migration of international net migration to be 340,000, up from the previous 315,000 recommendations.
But Labor will not promise to get anywhere. Ms. Cooper told Sky News: “We are not going to take a real failure approach [with a cap]because I think what we need to do is rebuild reputation and trust in the entire system. ”
In today’s press conference, the Prime Minister expected to say: “For years, we have a system that encourages businesses to attract low-paying workers rather than investing in our young people.
“That was the UK created by this broken system. Every area of the immigration system, including work, family and study, will be tightened, so we have more control. Execution will be more difficult than ever, and migration numbers will drop.
Today’s announcement is less than two weeks after Britain’s reforms, public anger over immigration has risen again, winning local elections
“This is a clean break from the past and will ensure that the solution in this country is a privilege, not a right.
“When people come to our country, they should also be committed to integrating and learning our language. Lower net migration, higher skills and support for British workers – that’s what this white paper can offer.”
The long-awaited white paper is to meet the commitments of the Labor Manifesto to significantly reduce net migration.
No. 10 denies the news as a knee response to Labor’s loss in local elections, blamed on failure to address immigration and its winter fuel allowance cuts.
The Home Office will also inform all foreign nationals convicted of crimes, which officials said would make it easier to remove those who committed crimes.
