Labour pledges to cut net migration as Tories announce GP plan

- Labour has denied reports it's offering peerages to former MPs so it can parachute so-called "Starmtroopers" - Keir Starmer's chosen candidates - into their seats. A number of left-wing candidates have allegedly been blocked from standing in what some are calling a party purge of Corbynistas. Diane Abbott, meanwhile, has tweeted in the last hour that she intends to run and win her seat. The row continues to overshadow Labour's efforts to get its election messages out - their focus today was on how they plan to reduce migration, while the Conservatives were talking health.

More empty pledges. The tories have been promising to reduce migration for years but, what do ya know... It has increased dramatically
Brexit made it worse.
Cause they just let the French escort them here no back bone
The English establishment are fascists both red and blue tories
@@TheDSSlayer I think the issue is overall immigration not the relative tiny amount of asylum seekers
Tories have lied for 14 years
Both parties fail to realise that unless you pay young people a fair wage, you are not going to get them to work in social care or in the agricultural sector. Pay people a fair wage 😡😡😡😡😡😡
We've relied on cheap foreign labour far too long imo. Time we weaned companies off of it
People will get a fair wage when they stop importing thousands of cheap workers. It's called supply and demand.
you are much more lucky than the most counterparts in China now. most of us have been unemployed for quite long time, several month or a year..... and most even have highly monthly mortgage to repay!
0.2% growth per quarter - that is what UK is going through even though 1.2 million came in past two years. Meanwhile Russia and India growing at 5% QoQ. Unbelievable.
Russia and India are much more resolute and diverse economies with huge natural resources, and the UK is a glorified Lithuania, especially after Brexit. Millions of Brits don't understand how poor we are economically on a global stage; migrants are brought in to work for cheap wages and make money for billionaires, then they siphon the money offshore, and the actual nominal value of the work is sucked out of the GDP. If we had a proper Labour party, unions and workers' rights, these sorts of mass exploitations would not happen. But this is not what Starmer offers, and it's not what the majority of the voting population wants. They don't understand the nuances of the economy - it's simply a case of "sToP tHe dInGys"
@@TC8787-yq7ogI think starmer is moderating his language and perception a bunch as to not get attacked by the right wing media in this country.
Once he is in power - I hope that he swings his approach much more towards the left and is actually under promising during this GE campaign, but will actually over deliver when in power...I am fairly confident that this is the approach he is doing... But we will see...
Well, I guess when the Tories moved to the right, Labour saw the chance to occupy centre right ground…
which opens tories to go further right. this is gonna get bad
I must've missed that.
@ince55ant Got it in one. The idea of a Labour majority this time round is pretty scary.
@@ince55ant I'm all for some very right wing policies
"when the Tories moved to the right"
Wow, the ignorance. We haven't had a remotely right wing Tory party since Blair got into power. Cameron turned it into a Blue Blairite party.
"Labour pledges to cut net migration" - someone who seriously believes in that message. 🤔
As a weird left winger who does believe we really do need to address immigration levels but also detests Starmer...this is interesting. I suspect Labour will cop out do nothing and give ammo for Reform and let racists dominate the issue
Migration was lower under labour than the tories😂
In terms of Immigration Ya'll need to go to Basic Elements of Security and Risk....The 5 Ds of perimeter security (Deter, Detect (#fingerprintIdentificationonthespot), Deny, Delay, Defend)
The new Tory party looks good in red.
All these Pledges and Promises from ALL parties , that NEVER get delivered and never will , they all just fill their own pockets and the pockets of their friends
Blair pledged to match %GDP spending for health with similar EU economies. He did this, the health service improved enormously and had its greatest ever public satisfaction levels when the Tories took over. Some pledges are met, even by @rseholes like Blair. I can't name one the Tories have met.
But Blair did blow of load of cash on PFI, so I agree with you on the profit for friends point. At least we got actual hospitals, not imaginary hospitals.
Halt migration. Not reduce.
Beneficial immigration not destructive immigration.

I get such bad vibes from labour this time around, I really don’t feel good about our rights under this sinister robot.
Lend Labour Your Vote
You're right to be concerned. Starmer is a liar and an authoritarian.
@@s7nful_ So the solution to labour being terrible is: shut up and dont talk about it?
Reminds of me 1920s Germany.
@@s7nful_ Do you have to vote for those two?
Lies, lies & will ALWAYS be lies
No! Not cut Captain Calamity , STOPPED.
How they going to do that then .
No one else has stopped it ..
A govt could not issue visas and actually be active in chasing up people that have overstayed their visas. I believe the last Labour govt was abysmal at the latter. We are an island nation...this shouldn't be hard to implement
They are cutting down migration from skilled people who have a job and pay taxes. People confuse this for illegal migration who no one is controlling.
I have no tribe .Labour say they will cut crime and make prison terms longer .Today we are told our prisons are full and our incompetent judicial system are told to reduce prison terms and our police told not to investigate certain crimes. Labour can't possibly reduce crime and employ longer prison terms unless they build more prisons which take time to build and very expensive to run. Where are the Labour costs for new prisons?? I assume therefore that Labour have no intention of building new prisons so the statements are nothing less than out and out lies .Of course ALL politicians tell the people lies in the form of rhetoric , platitudes, spin doctors and out and out lies. A little ironic as M.P.s are suspended if they call each other a liar in the House of Commons and the ultimate irony is calling themselves RIGHT HONOURABLE.
We don't need more training for young people, just better wages. If they can see there's a point in doing certain jobs they will go into those professions. We can't all be bankers or buy property portfolios with our inheritance. It's just incentive.
None of these plans are going to work, no matter what they say, the biggest problem is Brexit, Brexit ,Brexit
Starmer will do ANYTHING for the right wing vote , next week he will l say I agree with Suella on immigration and shes welcome to join labour . If the tories werent so bad labour would be getting zero votes. Starmer is a DISGRACE
How is it disgraceful to want to bring down net migration? Negative net migration is one of the main causes for rises in real wages during the 19th Century. Keeping the housing supply up with the existing population is clearly hard enough, yet you wish to increase the population further?
And if you think Starmer is Labour I have a bridge for sale in London for only £10 million you interested ???
Well that's where elections are won
What are you talking about ??? I have a great plan to reduce the population of the UK. Everyone that votes Tory at the election will automatically be deported to Rwanda . That will free up lots of nice houses , the NHS will be saved not having to deal with all those 80yr olds , plenty room on roads as no old Tory's doing 30mph everywhere . Wed save billions in state handouts if we get rid of them and replace them with a small amount of fit hard working people from abroad that pay tax NI and never use the HNS are are willing to live 20 to a room .
Both main parties will say just about anything at this point, to get the keys to No 10. Unfortunately, Labour are currently leading the polls, so we're pretty much screwed when 'I can't tell you what a woman is' Starmer the harmer gets into Downing Street.
Whilst no fan of the Tories, people seem to have forgotten just how much harm the Labour Party did to this Country, starting back in 1997 !
Both parties serve the vrown, and not the people, UK citizens deserve better
The Tory party put the country in the red
So you can replace the care Filipina Nurses and Caregivers have been peddling? Not a chance.
The reason why developed countries cannot hire their own citizens is because their Citizens DEMAND triple to quadruple the pay AND BENEFITS from an employer than when an employer hires a worker from a third world country. That happens to be the selling point for us beggars to take your jobs. And in most cases, it's not just a demand. It is backed by LAW. And businessmen are CHEAP MISERS!
The only way that will work is if your workers agree to take a quarter of the salary they deserve with no benefits. That's NEVER going to happen!
Not really. For example one common argument is that we need immigrants to fill NHS vacancies. I read that last year there was a net increase in migrants of around 750k and we have around 150k NHS vacancies...even on simple maths something's wrong plus we are not even targeting/filtering people for the NHS as we still have vacancies. I'm for reducing and having targeted immigration but it's not happening
Reducing it is not enough, it needs reversing!
If you want to know what's in store for you if you vote Labour just take a look at Wales. Labour have been in power for 25 years and just look at the state of the health service (even worse than England) and education. The war on the motorist and the money wasted over the last few years.
No Labour. Why you guys don't trust Rishi Sunak? Why?
What planet is he on? This won't happen
Labour and cutting migration never belong in the same sentence
1:00 Diane Abbott looked very shaky
Her wig is heavy.
Starmer and labour offer absolutely nothing
You want five more years of the Tories?
@@Hartley_Hare no
Labour is a democratic socialist party
🤣
They offer a lot more Muslim MPs. 🕋
Lies lies and damded lies. . Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Said like a true tory! NotMyLabour
The conservatives party just isn't the conservative party anymore, but Starmer has the values and attitudes of a proper conservative, it's showing more and more
Well, Starmer is a privately educated multi millionaire..
The Conservatives are Commies.
He went to Leeds University.
Although Nigel Farage is also using this line. They're getting desperate 😂
@@Autodidactz I agree - the Tories are commies.
Yes get more Brit workers in full time employment, someone has to pay for the migrants 5 star hotels and ensure they are getting enough spending money.
They are not migrants. Migrants like me earn and pay for everything like any british. What you are talking about is illegals.
My country is becoming the same country as seen in Children of Men. Everyone wants to stop the boats no one wants to tackle the cause which are governments
Empty empty empty response from Labour. Very disappointing
Starmer's boomer Labour - depressing and uninspiring
That’s the plan of every government. But no one will risk recession or failure to provide services
Why would it risk recession?
Just close our borders , wtf is so hard understand !!! We have had enough
So Tories are going to focus on making sure people who aren't bankers get a much better pay thus making them want to go into those careers. Really?
Details?
Haha can’t make this stuff up. Starmer was talking about getting rid of the House of Lords and using it as a stick to beat the a Tories with. Now dirty peerage deals to stop the criticism
If the Tories who know that migrants seldom vote Tory won’t/can’t cut immigration, what are the chances that Labour are going to cut Labour voting migrants? More empty promises.
The health sector can survive without employing migrants carers
Please, please don't vote for Labour! I can't stand the idea of listening to Yvette Cooper
Shamelessly lying to our faces with the help of his freinds at Channel 4.
Vote farage, vote for England, vote reform 👍
Vote for anyone. Just not the Tories again, please. Find some compassion. It's so unhealthy.
Sure he will...reform for me ,tories and labour the same ...
Raise the personal allowance to 20k. Everything else is noise.
The secret word added there is "net" which could mean anything.
Is this Britain? Where are the British?
In my workplace recently, I was in the minority being indigenous white. It was around 85% non white. Based on 60 workers.
Get in power - fill pockets.

This is not normal behaviour from someone who wants to lead this country in diplomacy.
Great questioning finally someone asking the questions we are all thinking.
How????Whats the Plan

I’ll believe it when I see it. Last time I checked, a good proportion of Labour MPs are quite content with open borders. That’s what we’re voting in with Starmer. Feels like it’s planned. See Klaus and his bug-eating friends! 🐛 🐜 🕷 🐞 🦗
You don't seem like someone who would believe it when they see it
@@UnequalSardineI am. And here’s what I have seen and don’t believe: I cannot believe western liberal democracies are importing en masse (Islam) an ideology that is diametrically opposed to liberal democracy. Islam is political. Too many people don’t seem to realise this. It wants the reins. Once it gets the reins you can say goodbye to ordinary freedoms you enjoy today, as you’ll be living by the word of Allah, as reported by an illiterate goatherd in Arabia. Be careful what you wish for.👍
Open borders is official Labour party policy. Mass immigration started with Blair and will increase at an alarming rate under Starmer.
@@pitbingTell that to UnequalSardine, sweetie. You don’t need to tell me that one. 👍
The man who made the decision not to prosecute jim sav, wants people to believe his promises 🤔
Better than the current lot though.
Ah that old chestnut, why do you think Johnson said that under parliamentary privilege? Do you think it might be because if he did it outside of that legal protection, he’d be sued for libel? Also, I guess because he knew certain people would believe it was true…
Who made Jim a Sir? The Tories!

How about stopping it ????
And make illegal migration legal through an amnesty that means access to all systems including housing. Vote Reform UK and end this madness
I am from Kenya and I will go to UK to live in a free hotel
More unattainable nonsense!!! Too much talk , not enough action !
immigration should be based on a points system and security vetted through and through like in the USA
I certainly think we need to be far more stricter with our immigration handling
We always think at election time that the country will be much better, after hearing all the wonderful and encouraging promises from the politicians. I have to say, they are pretty much as bad as each other. I know that's a cliche and generalised, but I do believe it. Whichever party gets in next, and I think it will be labour, don't expect anything wonderful to come of it in the end. It's all promises, promises to get votes.
They talk about apprenticeships and engineers. What about bar staff, fruit pickers, farm workers?
The markets for those will adapt
Of couse he does. Hahaha. They will allow millions and they have to vote labour.
The British doing some more talking about making some arrangements for chats about some issues that they'll get around to never😂
How the F can Labour separate themselves from the Tories when their policies are exactly the same? Particularly on Immigration
Last week Starmer was saying Labour would have Open Borders! Now he's backtracking! Lying Bassa.
Don’t believe in either party leader’s in their pledges
Too many process 😂
Yep, they promised that last time and the time before that and the time before that and the time before that and...............no tax rises yada yada..........protect pensions uhuh............... change change change change change...............
She reminds me of a clone... Scary 😱
Cheaper bills...it was Labour who implemented levies on our bills
Don’t trust the word they are saying
If we look Hollistic on immigration
Labour records are better then The Little Engine Rishi sunak & The junk party (The Notorious Tories)
10 years of labour Vs The nastiness of Tories's 14 years of an Absolute chaos
Labour campaigners trolling in the comments with the same "but the Tories" line. Noticed people ignoring them all over social media 😂
Grey Rocking them.
I actually agree that putting more 'home grown' "talent" to work and reducing dependency on foreigners in the Work Force is a good thing. But it will take time, and economically speaking, that is not always on our side. That aught not dissuade a well qualified foreign national from working in UK, but open the door for well trained and freshly qualified UK citizens to work alongside them.
Just so long as Labour does not fall into 'Patriotic' nonsense, and all the other right wing racial/ethnic tropes. Leave such things to the poisonous people backing Reform UK, and a befuddled "Conservative & Unionist" Party.
Your midset will destroy tje destiny of the British peoples.
Any sort of training like engineering or medicine takes 4 years bare minimum to finish. That is just a british national with degree not work experience. IMO dependency should be reduced where possible but not completely cut down as that would mean we cannot get experienced talent.
I believe we should have targeted immigration for NHS workers and short term agricultural workers....I don't think we particularly need anyone else. All I see is obvious foreigners (that's going to come across as racist but I'm not) working as Deliveroo riders or taxi drivers...hardly essential
💯💯💯
You understand at the moment what you describe it's the points based immigration system the UK already has?
Same peps not voting for you
Cannot happen and will not happen.

Lies lies and more lies. Divide and conquer on ethnic lines

Labour the right wing party you *can* trust because Labour
Selling dream season
There's a serious point from economic point of view why the world economies cannot function without immigration. White British population is on the decrease, a time bomb, when in a few years time without adequate work force, i.e. stagnant fiscal system, there will not be even enough pension for the retirees, compounded by allocation of money to other vital public services. In a nutshell, countries need work force to function; a stark reality that the likes of Tommy Robinson cannot fathom.
That's based on a few assumptions that populations need to grow and that immigrants are a net benefit when you can easily argue they are not due to the increase in labour pool suppressing wages and increased pressure on housing and services. Seems silly to insist on immigrants when we have at least 1.5 million unemployed and many more underemployed
If you lower migration you lower economic growth and Government's revenue, which means more austerity and lower wages.
I believe working class Brits should be just told the truth, do they want lower wages lower pensions and less NHS spending?
That's the price for less immigration.
You are as bright as a broken light bulb
