The First possible change will be around immigration reforms. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wasted no time in addressing immigration issues. His first move was to scrap the controversial Rwanda immigration scheme, which cost millions without deporting a single person. Starmer plans to introduce a border security bill in his first King’s speech, aimed at curbing small boat crossings and enhancing border security.
Next will be resolving NHS strikes. The NHS is a critical concern for Starmer’s administration. Health Secretary has already initiated discussions with the British medical Association, BMA, to end the ongoing pay dispute with junior doctors. Starmer aims to deliver an additional 40,000 appointments, scans and operations weekly, while also considering input from former health secretary to reduce NHS waiting lists.
Another change will be on addressing the prisons crisis England and Wales face a prisons crisis with occupancy rates nearing full capacity. Starmers strategy includes maintaining the early release scheme and appointing James Timpson as prisons minister to review sentencing and reduce reoffending rates. This approach aims to alleviate overcrowding and enhance the effectiveness of the prison system for possible change.
Will be on planning reform for housing. Starmer is set to overhaul the planning system to expedite major infrastructure projects. His administration has committed to building 1.5 million new homes, focusing on brownfield and grey belt sites. This ambitious plan is expected to drive significant changes in housing development, leveraging Labour’s majority in the House of Commons.
Fifth change revolves around improving relations with devolved nations. Starmer’s Four Nations tour underscores his commitment to resetting relations with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He aims to establish constructive working relationships and address regional challenges, including NHS issues in Wales and trade barriers in Northern Ireland.
As possible, change will be about rebuilding EU relations. Starmer seeks to reset the UK’s relationship with the EU. He has initiated discussions with European leaders to enhance economic cooperation and reduce trade friction. This includes negotiating a veterinary agreement to smooth post-Brexit trade.
Starmer’s swift actions reflect his dedication to addressing the immediate and pressing issues facing the UK. Setting a proactive tone for his premiership.
UK Family Visas: Will Labour Stop the Minimum Income Threshold Hike?
Just days after the general election. Crucial questions remain about Labor’s plans regarding the proposed increases to the family visa minimum income threshold.Meanwhile, a general election was recently held in the UK, with the Labour Party emerging victorious. This has raised several questions about the future of this policy and how the new government will handle it. In light of the overwhelmingly negative response from the public and experts alike. We will explore the possible future of this policy and its current status under the new government headed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
What is Labour’s stance on the minimum income threshold increases as of July 10th, 2024? Labour have not explicitly stated that they intend to stop or reverse the increases to the family visa minimum income threshold. However, some experts have speculated that a Labour government may indeed halt the changes if they were elected into government.
The director of the Migration Observatory, told The Standard at the time it was introduced, Labour said that they had concerns about it. So there is an important question there about whether they would lower the threshold or not. The conservative government said that they planned to increase it further, but it’s not baked into the rules. Given that Labour has said that they had concerns about the threshold initially, I would assume that they would not necessarily go ahead with the conservative policy of further increases. Despite this, there are still significant. Questions over what action, if any, Labour might take over these policies. The party has not voiced explicit opposition to many of the conservatives latest visa changes. Rather, Labour’s manifesto is also mostly geared towards bringing net migration down to lower levels.
