💨 Abstract

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer introduced stricter measures to reduce immigration, aiming to combat the rising popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Key changes include longer waiting periods for welfare benefits, restrictions on skilled worker visas, and increased English language requirements for migrants. The government plans to tighten controls across work, family, and study visas, while highly skilled workers will be fast-tracked. Employers are concerned about potential labor shortages due to these new rules.
