Keir Starmer gears up to fight Nigel Farage at election as he launches immigration crackdown

Stating that the Tories are no longer effective, SIR Keir Starmer implied that the upcoming election will be a showdown between himself and Nigel Farage. This declaration coincides with the introduction of a significant immigration policy.

Set to be unveiled on Monday, the Prime Minister’s plan involves tightening visa requirements to reduce reliance on foreign workers. The new rules will mandate migrants to possess higher qualifications and demonstrate improved English proficiency prior to entering the country.

This development follows Reform UK’s remarkable success over both Labour and the Conservatives in the recent local elections, prompting distressed Labour Members of Parliament to urge a reset within No10.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday while on a trip to Kyiv, the PM said the next race for No10 is likely to be a dust-up between him and Nigel.

He said: “Certainly we were planning on the basis we were likely to be facing Reform at the next election in any event. So that coincides with our thinking.”

Tearing into Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, he went on: “I think the Tory Party is a busted flush.

“They haven’t learnt the lessons of the last general election. They have no idea where they are heading.

“And they have got a leader who is showing no leadership.

“But what I take out of those election results is that we need to deliver change. 

“We have already delivered significant change with the NHS waiting lists coming down and wages going up quicker than prices, minimum wage is going up, interest rates are coming down.

“But we need to make sure people feel that change in their pockets and in their everyday lives. That is what I am intent on delivering.”

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will unveil Labour’s long-awaited plan to bring down record immigration tomorrow. 

There will be strict time-limits and restrictions on recruitment for jobs with critical  skills shortages.

And employers will also be told they must train workers in the UK.

Ministers want to drive down the reliance on foreign workers while getting soaring numbers of unemployed young Brits into jobs.

They are setting up groups with the Department for Work and Pensions to look at how  this can be done.

The Prime Minister added: “Sun readers know this country’s migration system is broken.

“A population the size of Birmingham arrived in just four years. 

“No control, business hooked on cheap labour, and Brits’ wages undercut. This failed experiment stops. I’m shutting down the lab. 

“By clamping down on abuse of the system, tightening time limits on visas, and boosting training for Brits we’ll make our borders secure, the system fair, and Brits better off. This is the change I was elected to deliver.”
