Keir Starmer Unveils Plan to Reduce Legal Migration
Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK’s Labour Party, has unveiled a new plan to reduce legal migration by investing in skills training in England. This comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sets out his own plan to cut the country’s reliance on foreign workers.
The plan aims to address the post-Brexit barriers faced by foreign workers, such as the case of an Italian police officer who was forced to quit the UK police due to the new requirements. Campaigners have also highlighted the challenges faced by women of color in obtaining prosthetic implants that match their skin tone, often having to “plead” or wait a long time for the right fit.
The proposed changes come amid ongoing political debates around immigration and the impact of Brexit on the UK’s workforce. As the government seeks to balance the need for skilled workers with the desire to reduce overall migration levels, the public will be watching closely to see how these policies unfold.
