Keir Starmer unveils immigration crackdown as PM promises to tighten 'every area of system'

  • On May 12, 2025, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a press conference in London to announce a new immigration crackdown.
  • Starmer's announcement followed growing public concern and recent election gains by the anti-immigration Reform UK party, which pressured him to change stance on migration.
  • The government unveiled plans to tighten student visas, increase English requirements, double the residency period for citizenship to 10 years, and slash low-skilled work visas.
  • Starmer pledged to 'finally take back control of our borders' and vowed the system would be 'controlled, selective and fair,' while refusing to specify exact immigration reduction targets.
  • The measures aim to reduce immigration significantly and counter the rise of hard-right parties, but have raised concerns from industry groups about harm to sectors like social care and universities.
