Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Starmer Brands Farage Migration Policy 'Racist' as Ministers Signal Changes
Caption: Starmer Brands Farage Migration Policy ‘Racist’ as Ministers Signal Changes. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Nigel Farage’s Reform UK policy on indefinite leave to remain for migrants “racist” and “immoral”. Farage proposes that settled migrants reapply for new visas under tougher rules instead of retaining indefinite leave to remain. Starmer said removing legal migrants already residing in Britain is completely different from addressing illegal migration. U.K. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood signaled potential changes to long-term settlement rules linking indefinite leave to societal contribution. Mahmood suggested that settlement could depend on factors such as employment, salary, taxes, and wider community contribution. Ministers gathered at Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool are expected to outline reforms to the current immigration system. Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice criticized Starmer’s comments as “lashing out irrationally” and claimed the prime minister is “terrified of Reform”. Starmer is facing questions about his leadership and low poll ratings as he steps up attacks on opposition party policies.
