UK PM Promises Tougher Visa Rules To Fix 'broken' Migration System by God1000(op): 6:38pm On May 12, 2025

Sir Keir Starmer has promised to overhaul a "broken" immigration system, with plans to tighten English tests for all visa applicants and their adult dependants among the reforms being considered.

Migrants will also have to wait 10 years to apply to settle in the UK, instead of automatically gaining settled status after five years, under the plans.

Labour's long-awaited migration rules, to be published soon, will "create a system that is controlled, selective and fair," the prime minister said.

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the idea Sir Keir "is tough on immigration is a joke" and promised to push Parliament to introduce a cap on migration.

Speaking before the publication of the Immigration White Paper, Sir Keir accused industries being "almost addicted to importing cheap labour" instead of "investing in the skills of people here and want a good job in their community".

He singled out engineering as an industry "where visas have rocketed while apprenticeships have plummeted".

The current system shuts out "young people weighing up their future" who missed out on potential training, Sir Keir said.

This will not fix UK's problem of worker shortages for which they'd still need immigrants.

All that's changed much is they must now come from English speaking countries and have degrees. They'd have difficulty attracting them though, as competition for that class of people is high, and UK still needs to sustain the universities with high fee paying foreign students, English speaking or not.

Yeah I agree with you, but they will be okay with it for as long as the policy will reduce immigrants from third world countries

Very Good. Stop them

Cowards can't build their country instead they are running away.

The Europeans you are running to
They faced worse than Africa
Slavery. Wars upon wars
The same london Hitler was bombing civilian homes at night killing 60k civilians. .
Did british people JAPA and run to asia or arabia or africa for saftey..NOOOO

They stood and fought and now you all are rushing there to enjoy what their ancestors paid for in blood.

You can't fight for your own land??

Why not fight for your country to be better so that europeans will be japaing to your own country.

If European Ancestors were cowards like you all and ran away.
You will not be Japaing to Europe now for green pasture and saftey.

Una run go country that was made what it is today by the blood and sacrifice their ancestors made inorder for their generations to live peacefully as they are now.

And you wonder why they are Racist towards you.

Because they see you as Cowards who run away from your country into their country to reap the benefits of their ancestors sweat and blood.

Ordinary herdsmen you all are running away to Europe. Cowards

it was not broken, yes it was not perfect, it was used to serve a means.
The means was to get people to come and clean yansh.
Now yansh cleaners are more than the yansh available, thats when they know its broken.

In the next 4-5 years, when this set upgrade, they will open it themselves for another fresh set. grin grin

Europe cannot afford a slow down in immigration no matter the noise they make to their domestic audience. They are being squeezed by the US and China. their industries are dying and they have no competitive future proof industries left. Tech is dominated by the US and manufacturing is dominated by China. Their populations are aging and they have a high social security and welfare bill. Where are the workers to pay for it....immmigrants! A citizen would rather be on welfare than work for the minimum wage that most immigrants work for and he would be better off. Even their schools they cant fund without foreign fees!

Europe including the UK is dying!


its a case of leaders understanding the issues better than the emotional masses ( this applies to most countries) but playing to the gallery!

the Uk are the original masters of deception. They will make all the right noises, close one door and open another while you arent watching. when the people wanted Brexit because there were too many Polish immigrants, they quitely opened the door to JAPA Nigerians and other Africans. when Nigerians start getting on the nerves of the locals (they eventually will) they will close the door to Nigerians they will quietly open the door to another group of people!

.as they are putting tougher immigration rules they should as well get the Bleep out from African resources . You cannot be deporting africans from your country and join force to destabilize Africa and steeling their resources.

Every country should put tight measures to safeguard and protect their country.
