Keir Starmer’s immigration policy straight out of Ukip manifesto, says Nigel Farage

  1. Seems like he didn’t read the actual policy. But well, whatever, if Kippers are convinced Labour is on their side, that’s going to be a smooth ride for Starmer.

    It’s not like they are too hung up on what the government actually deliver, they only vote for what is promised.

  2. So, Labour might actually be worth casting a vote for?

    It was always Cons will flood the country with migrants and allow gender ideology to mess with kids but pay lip service to not liking it while selling stuff off

    And labour would do the same but sell less things off and admit they support it.

    Interesting developments

  3. It is very UKIP/BXP/Tory.

    Here is something for those agreeing with Starmer to think about, two countries were mentioned as role models for a post brexit UK.

    Switzerland: Unlimited EU migrants, Schengen member, high wage country – average annual wage is £[70k](https://take-profit.org/en/statistics/wages/switzerland/)

    Norway: Unlimited EU migrants, Schengen member, high wage country – average annual wage is around [£52k](https://take-profit.org/en/statistics/wages/norway/)

    Immigration is not the problem.

  4. He must be taking a break from promoting conspiracy theories, simping for Russia and hanging out with far right Americans.

    What a way to live a life.

  5. Don’t even know what the policy is, doubt it’ll ever be implemented, Labour need to occasionally talk ‘tough’ to shore up the idiot vote. If this worthless grifter is trying to get a few column inches out of it, it’s probably working.

  6. Well, I can file that under “lies I don’t give a fuck about” and given ukips base are/were thick as shitty jam, they might even be persuaded to vote labour.

  7. There is a difference between wanting to train British workers and being anti-immigration. The key word people are missing throughout all this is ‘rely’ and Starmer is right to say we cannot rely on constant immigration to fill our skills gaps; that is not the same as saying we should close our doors to all migrants nor is it advocating a points-based system for entry. We have plenty of skilled workers in the UK, however we are failing to train them, failing to retain them and failing to pay them enough to work such jobs. There is still a place for migrants within all that and Starmer has not said that migration is bad in itself. That is what distinguishes him from UKIP.

  8. Starmer is a convenient idiot, the whole point of freedom of movement is that it can cut both ways, we get skills and ideas from other countries and we can also work there, shared ideas, fresh approaches, I’d have thought he’d welcome diversity. Yes we should train more of our own U.K. workforce but this takes years. It works well on the football pitch so why shouldn’t it work in the office, engineering company or In supporting agriculture. ( in my own place the EU staff have made an incredible difference.. Dutch statisticians, Italian architects etc etc ) On Brexit Starmer is simply pandering to the ‘red wall’ 50.5% of the population, many of whom have now realised those who we’re promoting it were talking bollocks . He should read today’s OECD report .. U.K. bottom of G7 economies… go figure…

  9. We’ve been through this before, prioritising your own citizens isn’t racist, and it’s just the same elitist attitude coming out of London that really just doesn’t want to see working class people succeed because then all the low skill office workers would be earning less than someone blue collar, and if there is anything I’ve leaerned about English culture, it’s the clear contempt the middle and worker classes have for each other at the delight of those ruling us.

    I predicted a few weeks ago Labour are going to lose this next election over immigration due to all their infighting. They could literally blow a double digit lead over it. Starmer might actually clean house and make them electable with these movements.
