Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a specific new immigration policy to limit the increase in migration, clearly in reaction to the rising popularity of Reform UK. The action of Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage has built momentum by raising public fears about the cultural and economic consequences of mass migration.
In a mere seven days, Starmer will chair a significant European Union summit in London, with the aim of resetting UK-EU relations. One of the topics up for discussion is a youth mobility deal that would allow young people from across Europe and the UK to live and work across borders. While the proposal certainly presents economic potential, it has attracted criticism from figures who worry that this new deal is bringing free movement back to the UK which contradicts the ideals of Brexit.
Starmer’s approach aims to stop relying on overseas care workers under the visa scheme put in place by Boris Johnson and instead create a workforce of UK citizens to work in these roles by 2028 but this takes time and requires higher wages and training while there are nearly 10 million working age people on welfare.
The policy departs from previous government thinking because it doesn’t accept that high immigration equals economic growth. Starmer pointed out that the UK’s economy has actually stagnated, despite net migration being at record levels.
On another front, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is supporting mobility deals with the EU and India to stimulate growth. However, Labour MPs in areas that have been hit hard by immigration remain concerned about mixed messages with Reform UK performing so well in the polls.
Surveys show voters still view skilled migrants and students positively, although they are anxious about illegal immigration, benefits abuse and strain on public services.
