Starmer Facing Revolt on UK Immigration Reforms From 100 MPs

More than 100 Labour Party members of parliament have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government to rethink changes to the UK’s immigration system, underscoring the scale of opposition confronting him from within his own ranks.

They sent the private letter, seen by Bloomberg, to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Wednesday afternoon. That came before a speech she delivered on Thursday intended to convince her colleagues that the reforms — which will make it harder for many low earners to gain residency and citizenship, but will ease the path for those with high-paying jobs — should go forward.
