London (United Kingdom), 12 May (LaPresse/AP) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer today launched his government's immigration plan. He promised to reduce the number of immigrants and make it more difficult to settle in the United Kingdom, tackling an issue that has plagued successive governments for years and fuelled the rise of the anti-immigration Reform UK party, which could threaten the country's political establishment. Starmer, whose centre-left Labour Party won a landslide victory in last July's election, faces pressure from voters who are increasingly frustrated by high levels of immigration, which many believe have strained public services and fuelled ethnic tensions in some parts of the country. ‘Every aspect of the immigration system – work, family and study – will be strengthened so that we have greater control,’ Starmer said during a speech at Downing Street.
