Starmer, a prominent labor figure, advocates for restricting immigration.
Upcoming in four weeks, the United Kingdom will choose a new leader. Premium Sunak has been attempting for months to earn points with deportations to Rwanda to avert his dismissal. Now, the Labour's foreman is stepping in, addressing the major election concern of migration.
With a month remaining before the British parliamentary election on July 4th, the head of opositional Labour Party, Keir Starmer, has finally spoken about a key electoral concern - immigration. Starmer stated firmly to popular newspaper "The Sun", "Take note - I will lower the number of immigrants." The current polls predict that Starmer could be the new British Prime Minister in the parliamentary election.
However, Starmer failed to provide any precious details or specific promises to decrease immigration figures during the interview. He was quoted as mentioning that passing laws to curb migration is his top prerogative. Under such laws, businesses who infringe labour laws could potentially be denied the permission to recruit foreign workers.
Britain's immigration policy is gathering much notice before the July 4 parliamentary elections. A recent survey by the opinion research institute YouGov revealed that 18% of British citizens consider immigration to be the most significant election topic.
Sunak's Approach: Rwanda
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his conservative administration want to control immigration to the UK. In late April, the British Parliament sanctioned the controversial government plan to expel migrants to Rwanda. This plan permits deporting migrants who entered illegally into the UK without looking into their true origin or asylum applications. Rwanda was designated as a secure third country.
On the contrary, Labour's chief Starmer is exhibiting a firmer approach towards the migration and borders issue than his social democratic predecessors. The Labour Party has declared that they would repeal the deportation act passed by the conservatives as a deterrent deterrent. In the recent newspaper interview, Starmer added that if he wins the election, he would target trafficking groups that transport unlawful migrants across the English Channel in small boats.
