Starmer Warns Mass Migration Could Turn Britain into “Island of Strangers”

  • On Monday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to tighten immigration by reducing legal migration and reforming visa rules across the country.
  • Starmer made this announcement amid rising net migration reaching 728,000 in the year to June 2024 and criticism linking his language to Enoch Powell’s 1968 Rivers of Blood speech.
  • The policy package includes ending the social care visa, raising English language requirements, and measures to restrict cheap overseas labour recruitment, prompting concern from care sector employers.
  • Starmer emphasized that in a nation as varied as ours, there is a danger of people feeling isolated from one another instead of united in progress, while firmly denying that his language mirrored far-right rhetoric.
  • The announcement sparked criticism from some Labour MPs warning it risks divisive rhetoric, while the government maintains the reforms aim for a “controlled, selective and fair” immigration system.
