Iain Dale demands answers from MP on Labour’s immigration crackdown | LBC
Sir Keir Starmer said the UK risks becoming an “island of strangers” without border controls as he unveiled a crackdown on immigration.
The prime minister said on Monday that the government is looking to cut overseas care workers and tighten English language requirements within the leave to remain framework.
It is all part of a drive for levels of immigration to have fallen by the end of his term in office although Sir Keir stopped short of setting a numerical target.
“Let me put it this way, nations depend on rules, fair rules,” he said.
“Sometimes they are written down, often they are not, but either way, they give shape to our values, guide us towards our rights, of course, but also our responsibilities, the obligations we owe to each other.
“I celebrate that these rules become even more important without them, we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.”
As the nation grapples with the announcement, Iain Dale holds MP Mike Tapp’s feet to the fire.
