Starmer is an enemy to his own people, and now he’s playing British citizens for fools. His U-turn on immigration is an effort to save his own political career. He is only conceding that there are any dangers to mass migration after the big news that his opponent Nigel Farage has hit “record high as bombshell poll shows Reform UK trouncing Labour.” Starmer’s Labour Party is “13 points behind Reform.” The immigration issue is a priority for British citizens as they see their economy nosedive along with their national security.
Seven months ago, Starmer endured the humiliation of an “unprecedented collapse’ in popularity,” more than any other prime minister in modern history.
Starmer’s downfall started almost immediately after he took office in September 2024, with dissension in his own ranks. Some of his questionable actions include wasting taxpayer money to fund open-door immigration policies in a downward trending economy; a secret “Brexit reset” plan; training the military to use as “peacekeepers” against the British population after widespread protests and riots; and his “state police” threatening to crack down on citizens outside Britain who oppose government views.
One hopes that the British public will not be gullible as Starmer tries to convince them that he has had a genuine change of heart on immigration.
“UK Prime Minister Just Conceded Post-War Consensus on Migration as an Unalloyed Good Is Dead,” by Oliver JJ Jane, Breitbart, May 12, 2025:
The United Kingdom experienced a massive Overton Window shift in real time on Monday as the country’s left-wing Prime Minister conceded it is now the government’s view that mass migration does not spur economic growth and that large numbers of arrivals weaken society.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer made a landmark announcement promising a significant cut in migration arrivals to the United Kingdom by the end of this Parliament, yet his set piece was immediately overshadowed by mass migrant boat arrivals on England’s southern coast and his own refusal to take concrete steps to change anything. Despite Starmer’s earlier vows to “smash the gangs”, illegal boat migrant arrivals continue to stack up, having already soared to all-time record numbers this year under Labour’s watch, with some 400 boat arrivals just this morning, with several injured and one killed on the way.
Nevertheless, Britain will “finally take back control of our borders”, the Prime Minister said in Westminster on Monday morning while blaming the previous Conservative-led government for having presided over record-high arrivals over its 14 years in power. The country will see immigration fall by 2029, Starmer said, stating: “I’m promising it will fall significantly, and I do want to get it down by the end of this parliament, significantly. That is what this plan is intended to achieve.”
While promises to cut migration by political parties, which, bluntly, are not invested in the idea at all, are ten-a-penny in British politics, remarks by the Prime Minister on Monday were still politically earth-shattering, as he expressed that the long-held liberal arguments for mass migration were not actually true. One unassailable Westminster assumption that long acted as a backstop during the Tory era was that, whatever other problems migration brought, it was responsible for economic growth and that was the primary purpose of government….
Captain Quirk says
Wow, someone is waking up. As a matter of fact it is the opposite: mass immigration kills the (social welfare) system, lowers wages and thus damages the economy, thereby weakening society, apart from undermining morality and corrupting our officials.
Hoi Polloi says
Starmer is shameless, but I don’t think Farage is genuine in his immigration proposals.
Captain Smirk says
Sorry, but Farage is ‘in the bag’. His biggest contributor is a mohamedan. He’s been taken care of. Forget about Farage for help.
David M says
Nigel Farage was on Australian tv tonight talking about this & how much of a fraud Starmer is. Starmer has spent his whole life being pro-open borders, even stopping criminals from being deported. Now because the Reform party is ahead in the polls Starmer comes out with this.
Farage pointed out this will split the left, as most of them still want open borders. By the way, I don’t believe anything Starmer says.
Westman says
Strange how those party splits are happening as politicians discover involvement with the far left is like thinking you are romancing the “perfect 10”, wining and dining to the intimate moment of discovering, “what a woman is”, and this ain’t it.

He has a whole 5 years: I wonder why he’s doing that now already?
Dr K says
Something doesn’t add up here .
Are our politicians deliberately feigning stupidity?!
Statler says
May well be. Look at this paki p.m. Rishi: huge mouth about reducing immigration, zilch results. Would you have expected anything else?
Wellington says
What the Hell has happened to Britain? From my American perspective it looks like national suicide but then when I look at what has happened to the Democratic Party of America that too looks very suicidal.
The West achieved, easily, the greatest civilization in history (and one of the greatest examples of this achievement is what occurred over many centuries on the Sceptered Isle). The West invented philosophy, democracy, the scientific method, a great capacity to not remain static and thus improve the lot of mankind, explored women’s rights as no other civilization remotely has and also achieved what no other civilization has and that is the capacity to apologize for its wrongdoings (when has the Asian world, the Islamic world, the American Indian world, the sub-Saharan African world, et al. ever apologized for anything even though these worlds have so much to apologize for?).
Starmer’s a fool but the problem is much deeper than him. He is symptomatic of a civilization in crisis, a civilization like no other in history. Beyond tragic.
Westman says
Well said, Wellington. It is beyond tragic.
It’s like England planted what it thought were the seeds of a new valuable crop and what came up were weeds. Will they now finally read the label(Quran)?
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Starmer was at the progressive stall when the cohones were issued. Now it’s too late. The big boys went to the correct stall and have got them all.
somehistory says
Someone set the barn on fire, many horses escaped to freedom, while others suffered. There is no logic with *modern* politicians. They set the barn on fire, and then wonder what happened to the valuable livestock.
Hank says
“One hopes that the British public will not be gullible as Starmer tries to convince them that he has had a genuine change of heart on immigration.”
The only genuine convincing he can do is for citizens to actually see cargo planes taking off with illegal Muslim jihadis headed for their Muslim country of origin. Its not rocket science. Islam is dangerous for any infidel country and its citizens.
Bret says
If you allowed illegals and mass immigration in your country for years and then decide that it’s not working, then you are ignorant or a leftist trying to hold power. Either way, you have a job waiting for you in the fry line at McDonald’s. You are not qualified for any other position.
skeptiker says
Wir Demokraten sind mit unserer Regierung in Deutschland auch nicht viel besser dran, wie ihr in England mit dem Starmer-Regime.
Das Treffen letzte Woche in Kiew mit Starmer, Macron und Merz + Selenski war ein Treffen von Loosern und Kriegstreibern. Alle 4 haben mit ihrer Politik keine Mehrheit mehr in ihren Ländern. Sie haben den Niedergang der Wirtschaft, die illegale Masseneinwanderung und den Krieg in der Ukraine zu verantworten.
Sie eint ihre Verachtung für Demokratie, Meinungsfreiheit, Frieden, Wohlstand und Bildung.
Alle 4 können sich nur noch dadurch an der Macht halten, indem sie die Bürger belügen, Opposition verbieten oder wegsperren, Gleichschaltung der Medien betreiben und mit dem Klima-Gender-Woke-Schwindel die Bürger betrügen, ausrauben und die Gesellschaft spalten. So in globalistischer Soros/Schwab Manier.
James Lincoln says
Even if the muslim invasion of the UK were completely halted, the muslim population would continue to increase exponentially due to their skyhigh birthrate.
In order to survive, the UK would have to deport millions of muslims.
And I don’t see them doing that…
John Andela says
Not only does he need to stop imigration , he needs to round all ilegals or undocumented and return them to country of origin
