Keir Starmer on immigration: Tories ran ‘open borders experiment’

The prime minister, Keir Starmer, has accused the last government of intentionally turning Britain “into a one-nation experiment in open borders” at a press conference on Thursday.

He announced plans to change the immigration system after new figures showed net migration to the UK had climbed to a “record-hitting 906,000 in 2023”

Hasn’t he been arresting people calling this out?

[youlig]

He threw people in jail for voicing the same concerns. What a hypocrite...

[Budanevey]

How about Labour run a 'closed border experiment' and compare results?

[Lee-fhsy]

Yep your right starmer but it was your mate Tony Blair that started it

[robertdallard]

Labour have opened up 17 new hotels for our guests.
Whilst ex servicmen live rough and our old people freeze

[scruffyalice-ffpz]

Hypocrite during his human rights lawyer days, when not spending his time defending the rights of murderers, rapists, pdfs, violent criminals. He spent the rest of his time making sure illegal immigrants and convicted immigrants didn't get deported.😂😂😂

[davemcqueen]

Labour opened the migrant gate when Blair took office

[Gus-zu]

Thank you Keir for mainstreaming nationalist and anti-immigrationist rhetoric in the UK and confirming that the so-called "far-right extremists" were right all along.

[cheriegoodwin]

NOTHING WILL BE DONE he's not for the ppl of this country, such a liar can't stand him...

[DzTubz]

Don't let this distract you from the fact this guy defended terrorists human rights

[stefanjackson]

Yup, but they didn't have people arrested for posting about it did they.

[andrewmurray]

Starmers migration plan cancel Rwanda scheme and no plan to stop boats this was not back luck but choices Starmer made which is unforgivable.

Vote labour, get open borders. Vote conservative, get open borders. Reform is the only way to go

[vvv]

not a "one nation experiment", same with Canada, Germany, Sweden and so on....

[JaceHok]

Its the way that he always tries to blame it on the conservatives when in reality it was labour that would block any attempt made in parliament to not only lower immigration but also stop illegal immigration.

[GHU]

From Tony Blair to this very day, you have all had an immigration labottomy.

[nickc]

I don't know anyone who's still listening to this bloke. He's lost the whole country already.

[thegoldrobber]

The entire world ran an open border experiment at the exact same time. This was obviously a coordinated effort by all countries. The reason for doing this is the mystery. Anyone have an answer for this?

[dianerogers]

Two words, Tony Blair, he was the one who started open borders, 😡😡😡🤬🤬

[ThesocialmuteHD]

Another “blame the tories so we don’t look as bad”
