Immigration numbers expose unexpected shift in Starmer's long-term position
Latest migration data shows record-high numbers reaching almost 1-million mark‚ triggering sharp response from **Keir Starmer**. His current stance differs notably from his past positions on border policies
Recent UK migration stats caused a quick-arranged press meet where Keir Starmer called the numbers “shocking“ (the data shows net-migration hit 906k last yr). He pointed at the post-brexit period as a time of un-controlled border policies; its a four-times jump since 2019
The Labour leaders current position shows a big turn from his earlier views - a fact thats getting lots of attention. Back in late 2022 he talked about not wanting to hold back companies that need foreign workers‚ but didnt want to give specific numbers: its quite different from what he says now
There is a racist undercurrent which permeates all immigration law
His past actions show some interesting facts:
- Voted no on strict asylum rules 14 times (2015-22)
- Supported free EU movement pre-brexit
- Backed letting families from other countries stay together
- Asked for more help for refugees in 2015
Now Starmer talks about fixing the system thats “broken“ by the current govt - but critics like MP Neil OBrien point at his past views saying hes not being honest. A Labour rep says theyre working on new point-based rules and want to cut down numbers that got too high
