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.
