The British Prime Minister Keir Stormer He has announced a new plan on immigration. During a press conference, he said that the time has come to “finally resume control of Great Britain boundaries”. The plan provides for a strengthening of controls on all areas of the immigration system, including visa for work, family reunification and study. Starmer underlined the need for a more rigorous approach to reduce irregular immigration.
All the news
A central point of the plan concerns the knowledge of the English language. Starmer said that those who arrive in the United Kingdom will have to “already speak the language”. This measure aims to limit the use of temporary jobs by foreigners who try to Learn English while they are in the country. The goal is to reduce unnecessary entrances and encourage faster integration for those who meet linguistic requirements. The prime minister defined this decision as a “pragmatic and necessary” setting.
Greater control over visas
Starmer stressed that the government will intensify the checks on the various types of visas granted. This narrow will concern work permissions, study and requests for family reunification. The central idea is to avoid irregularities and ensure that only those who respect the rules can enter or remain in the British territory. Starmer explained that the new measures have the aim of strengthening migratory policies and protecting the existing system.
And Schlein …
The new proposals reflect a change of tone with respect to less structured approaches adopted previously. Starmer reiterated that decisions do not intend to close the doors, but Manage migratory flows in a more sensible and controlled way. He insisted on the fact that the United Kingdom can be solidarity but, at the same time, responsible in the management of people who enter the country. To push the Labor leader to the turning point compared to the past, even compared to conservative governments, it is not only the increase in the consents for farage but the real numbers on immigration. According to official data, the number of people who enter the United Kingdom in 2023 was 900 thousand units in the year, four times the pre-Brexit level. Of course: in 2024 it fell to 728 thousand a year, but British voters are convinced that the government has lost control of the borders also given the 37 thousand people who crossed their sleeve on board inflatable boats on routes managed by men’s traffickers.
It is not the first time that the British Labor Prime Minister gives a “turning point” compared to the typical approach of the Western leftists on migrants. When he came to Italy, he praised the Italian system and said he was looking at the Albania protocol signed by Giorgia Meloni with Rama Edi (Another socialist, again re -elected, little loved on the left). Starmer and Schlein have very little in common, if you do not want to accept the political universe on the right and left. It has been seen on the muscle approach in the war in Ukraine (Elly has yet to decide which side to stay on, Keir goes by train to Kiev with Macron and Merz), on the relationship with capitalism and finally also on immigration. It is no coincidence that Keir is more appreciated by the reformist wing than from the one who belongs to Schlein, so attracted by Avs, Bonelli, Fratoianni and Conte. But maybe there is a reason if Starmer won the elections and governs. While the Democratic Party does not.
