Plan to reduce net migration accused of being 'inhumane'

Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing a backlash from activists and unions after he promised to slash sky-high net migration if Labour wins the election.

Starmer has said that a Labour government would restrict the flow of foreign workers into Britain by ending the current rules allowing companies to pay migrant workers less than the minimum wage and undercutting British workers.

The plans have been met with criticism from activists and unions, who have accused Starmer of "pandering to the far right" and of ignoring the "human cost" of reducing migration.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has said that Starmer's plans would "damage the economy and make it harder for businesses to operate." The TUC also said that the plans would "create a hostile environment" for migrants.

The Labour Campaign for Free Movement has said that Starmer's plans are "inhumane" and would "tear families apart."

Starmer has defended his plans, saying that they are necessary to control immigration and protect British jobs.

However, it remains to be seen whether Starmer will be able to convince the Labour Party membership and the wider public that his plans are the right way forward.
