UK to SEAL Border in Crackdown on Migration as Liberal PM Starmer Takes Hardline Conservative Turn

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. #UKImmigration #VisaReform #KeirStarmer #UKPolicy #ImmigrationNews #MassImmigration #UKBorders #SkilledMigrants #CareWorkers #MigrantPolicy #BritishPolitics #EnglishTest #VisaLaws #WorkVisas #UKLabourParty #StarmerMoves #MigrationCrisis #BorderControl #UKNews #ImmigrationDebate #UKGovt #PolicyShift #LegalMigration #ImmigrationRules #UKWorkforce #MigrantCareWorkers #SettlementRules #VisaUpdate #LabourReform #UKJobsFirst #AIImmigration Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc

How the U.S Forced Pakistan Into a Ceasefire With India | IMF, Military and the CIA’s Crucial Role

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace. #IndiaPakistan #Ceasefire #USDiplomacy #IMF #Geopolitics #SouthAsia #USPressure #MilitaryAid #CIA #PakistanArmy #Modi #Bajwa #GlobalPolitics #WashingtonMoves #DiplomaticLeverage #RegionalStability #ConflictResolution #IndiaPakistanTensions #PeacePush #USInfluence #SaudiMediation #SouthAsiaNews #USForeignPolicy #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #StrategicAffairs #CeasefireDeal #GlobalInfluence #EconomicLeverage #MilitaryTies #USIMF ~HT.318~GR.124~ED.346~
