UK: Starmer now says mass migration doesn’t spur economic growth and can weaken society

Starmer is an enemy to his own people, and now he’s playing British citizens for fools. His U-turn on immigration is an effort to save his own political career.

“UK Prime Minister Just Conceded Post-War Consensus on Migration as an Unalloyed Good Is Dead,” by Oliver JJ Jane, Breitbart, May 12, 2025:

The United Kingdom experienced a massive Overton Window shift in real time on Monday as the country’s left-wing Prime Minister conceded it is now the government’s view that mass migration does not spur economic growth and that large numbers of arrivals weaken society.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer made a landmark announcement promising a significant cut in migration arrivals to the United Kingdom by the end of this Parliament, yet his set piece was immediately overshadowed by mass migrant boat arrivals on England’s southern coast and his own refusal to take concrete steps to change anything. Despite Starmer’s earlier vows to “smash the gangs”, illegal boat migrant arrivals continue to stack up, having already soared to all-time record numbers this year under Labour’s watch, with some 400 boat arrivals just this morning, with several injured and one killed on the way.

Nevertheless, Britain will “finally take back control of our borders”, the Prime Minister said in Westminster on Monday morning while blaming the previous Conservative-led government for having presided over record-high arrivals over its 14 years in power. The country will see immigration fall by 2029, Starmer said, stating: “I’m promising it will fall significantly, and I do want to get it down by the end of this parliament, significantly. That is what this plan is intended to achieve.”

While promises to cut migration by political parties, which, bluntly, are not invested in the idea at all, are ten-a-penny in British politics,  remarks by the Prime Minister on Monday were still politically earth-shattering, as he expressed that the long-held liberal arguments for mass migration were not actually true.

One unassailable Westminster assumption that long acted as a backstop during the Tory era was that, whatever other problems migration brought, it was responsible for economic growth and that was the primary purpose of government.

The removal of the ones committing crimes is the best step forward for the UK. Trump is doing what they should do. Abide by the law or you are deported. This will help them gain control of the rapes!

Britain is a lost cause. The "Cancer" has invaded the country, and the cure should have been administered long ago. Pip-pip, and Allah Akbar
