Keir Starmer crackdown will only cut migration to pre-Brexit levels: Report
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans on May 12, 2025, to reduce UK immigration, citing 600 asylum seekers crossing the Channel recently.
- Starmer linked the plans to integration failures and a desire to reverse what he called the 'One Nation experiment in open borders' by the Conservatives.
- The Home Office expects reforms to cut migration by 100,000, with net migration predicted to settle around 240,000-250,000 by 2029, down from current levels near 728,000.
- Critics labeled Starmer's immigration policy 'a recipe for disaster' and raised concerns about more mass migration, while Starmer dismissed economic impact worries due to 'stagnant growth.'
- The policies aim to balance skills-based immigration and national rules to prevent the UK from becoming, as some warn, 'an island of strangers.
