Keir Starmer unveiled new immigration policies aimed at reducing net migration in the UK, asserting that without stricter controls, the country may become an 'island of strangers.' He noted the alarming rise in net migration, which reached 728,000 annually, exacerbated under the previous Conservative government. Key policy measures include mandatory English language tests for foreign workers, limitations on recruiting foreign staff for care homes, and extending settlement applications from five to ten years.
