Unions and campaigners condemn Prime Minister's ‘far-right’ rhetoric and new immigration policies

CAMPAIGNERS accused Sir Keir Starmer today of fanning the flames of the far-right after he claimed that Britain will become an “island of strangers” without tougher controls on migration.
The Prime Minister unveiled a new immigration white paper at Downing Street and leaned into tired hard-right rhetoric, vowing to “take back control” of Britain’s borders.
Sir Keir made the pledge amid panic over support for the racist Reform UK party, which recently won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election and more than 600 council seats across England.
