Tory Party Chairman Criticizes Lack of Plan
Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has been mocked for promising to lower immigration without providing a plan. In a speech scheduled for Tuesday, Starmer will pledge to deliver higher wages and lower migration by "finally making work pay." However, Tory party chairman Richard Holden accused Starmer of saying what he thinks people want to hear without presenting credible plans. Holden stated that Labour has no plan to address immigration or tackle borrowing and debt, and lacks transparency with the public.
Starmer's Labour Party Ready to Serve
In addition to his immigration pledge, Sir Keir Starmer is sending his top team on a tour of the Red Wall seats lost in 2019, declaring that his Labour Party is ready to serve. This move is seen as an effort to reconnect with working-class voters and regain support in these key constituencies.
Warning from Danish Immigration Minister
Starmer's immigration stance has also drawn the attention of Danish Immigration Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, who issued a warning to the Labour leader. Bek highlighted that in order to appeal to the working class and middle class, it is important to have a manageable level of migration. This statement suggests that Starmer's immigration pledge may not align with the concerns of some working-class voters.
Shadow Home Secretary Criticizes Rwanda Bill
Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, has vowed to axe the Rwanda Bill deterrent if she comes into power, even if it proves effective. Cooper criticized the scheme as a "total farce" and questioned the Conservative government's lack of transparency regarding its financial implications.
