Labour dismiss PMs migrant plan as 'headline grabbing gimmick'
Labour's Wes Streeting dismisses the government's plan to ban people who arrive on small boats from claiming asylum in the UK as "another headline grabbing gimmick".
The shadow health secretary also says the legislation "is very unlikely to get through Parliament" or "get by the courts" which he claims the government hopes is the case "so they can blame other people".

The government is planning a range of measures designed to restrict immigration to the UK, which will likely further reduce net migration - but without further.. Sky News
The UK government is rolling out stricter visa rules to curb mass immigration and prioritize domestic hiring. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called mass immigration a “failed experiment” and pledged to regain control over Britain’s borders. New reforms will halt overseas care worker recruitment, raise English language requirements for dependents, and restrict skilled visas to graduate-level jobs. While critical sectors like healthcare and AI will see fast-tracked entries, settlement will now require 10 years of residence. The Labour-led move marks a dramatic shift in the UK’s migration policy landscape.
