YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sir Keir Starmer has promised net migration will fall by the end of this parliament as he outlined a slew of immigration changes.

Migrants have been told they need to spend a decade in the UK before they can apply for citizenship and English language requirements will be increased for all routes into the UK, as ministers look to bring down net migration which reached 728,000 last year.

James O'Brien debates the numbers with caller Nathan, who argues 'it's great the numbers are coming down, but at the end of the day it's about the lived experiences of the people in the country.'

'Jobs are harder to get, you wait longer in A&E.'

'I wasn't a fan of the Labour Government, but when I heard the news about the numbers it did put a pep in my step.'

'If we could look at each other and say England is getting better we wouldn't be talking about this right now.'
