Western Mail says under new plans set to be revealed on Monday, migrants will need to have qualifications up to graduate level to obtain a work visa for the UK.
The i newspaper says “migrants must earn the right to stay … and improve their English.”
The Daily Express says migrants will need to wait 10 years to “become British” in what the paper calls a “crackdown”.
The Guardian says the prime minister is toughening rules in what it calls a “challenge to Reform [UK]”, which swept the recent local elections in England.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the prime minister is proposing to “shut the ECHR migrant loophole” as part of the wide-ranging proposals to cut the migration numbers.
The Daily Mail leads on the Conservative response saying Tories call the plans “laughable” for not including a cap on numbers.
Many of the UK newspapers lead with today’s announcement of new changes to Britain’s immigration system – in what most papers agree is an attempt to stump the rise of Reform UK. It comes after Labour lost hugely to Reform in England’s local elections.

Monday’s headlines are leading with the prime minister’s announcement on his plans to crack down on legal migration to the UK – with measures that include banning overseas care home workers. It’s unclear how these measures won’t damage the economy further, but Starmer’s eyeing up a second term in office, and to beat Reform at the next general election (2029) he’ll need to have made massive moves on immigration (legal and illegal). Recent local elections in England saw Reform sweep traditional Labour and Tory hotspots, meaning you can expect to see both parties move closer to the right for the foreseeable future.
