Good news for the nurses who will need jobs. Funnily enough you’re quiet on that one.

From the article, it sounds very good, well done to all those involved.

I don’t believe a word Starmer says eg Smash the Gangs is the only way! Ten of thousands migrants later! He has not got a clue!

the "Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill," is still in progress and going through parliament.

also Labour have made record deportations.

either way, looks like they're doing more than what the Tories have done these last years.

Sweeping crackdown on migration - will be enough to please Reform voters or do they only want to hear it from Farages mouth ?

Personally the controlled legal migration isn't my issue, it's the undocumented small boat arrivals that need sorting. Not saying don't take our share of refugees but we need to know who is arriving.
 
When will politicians realise they can't 'Out-Farage' Farage? In a race to the political bottom he will always win because he's willing to go as low as it gets.

None of Labour's 5 'missions' revolve around immigration but here we go again seemingly willingly letting that issue shape the entire discourse. You can argue that, given Reforms surge in the polls, it's a political reality you cannot ignore; but the more depressing perspective is that given how inept Labour has been in carving out a positive identity, pivoting to a negative 'we'll offer you Reform lite to save us all from the real thing' at least gives them an identity and in the absence of anything more compelling, they're probably grateful for that.

Appeasing a gobby, racist minority over the people that elected them.

Didn't Biden do the same with regards to migration and how did that turn out?

Not really he tried to get a tough immigration bill through but trump told the republicans to block it, so he could then use it to attack Biden in the election run in.
