Video Description

British Labour has released a controversial new immigration white paper and prime minister Keir Starmer is embracing tough rhetoric. This week on the Prospect Podcast, Ellen Halliday and Alona Ferber are joined by journalist Nicola Kelly, who used to work for the UK government on the immigration desk. Nicola unpacks Labour’s proposed new reforms, the human impact of them, and why they won’t be effective. Starmer is clearly trying to compete with the anti-immigration stance of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK—but migration numbers are already falling. Prospect’s podcasts are the new home for intelligent discussions on politics and media from the UK, US and around the world. Whether you’re British, American or just interested in journalism and international affairs, there’s something for you on our channel. 🔗: To listen to the full episode, including more discussion from Ellen and Alona, click here: https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/prospect-podcast/69964/starmers-immigration-gamble 📖: For more quality journalism, head to www.prospectmagazine.co.uk 📷: Gregori Saavedra #politics #uk #ukpolitics #media #unitedkingdom #journalism #britishpolitics #politicsnews #ukpoliticslive #podcast #uspolitics #podcasts #labour #tories #election #books #ideas
