Enough is Enough

Rishi Sunak, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, has announced a five-step plan to reduce net migration by 300,000 per year, stating that "enough is enough."

Focus on Home-Grown Talent

The plan includes new rules to encourage employers to hire and train local talent instead of relying on foreign workers.

Biggest Ever Cut

Sunak is promising "the biggest ever cut in net migration" in response to public concerns about record numbers of migrants coming to the country.

Blaming Former PM Boris Johnson

In an article published today, Sunak criticizes former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for failing to deliver on promises to control immigration and implement a points-based system.

New Moves on Illegal Migration

The plan will also address illegal migration and small boats, with Home Secretary James Cleverly expected to unveil a new Rwanda treaty to tackle the issue.

Cracking Down on Undercutting

Under the new proposals, foreign workers will need to earn at least £38,700 to come to the UK in order to prevent undercutting British workers.

Ban on Care Workers Bringing Family

The plan also includes a ban on care workers bringing their family members to the UK, aiming to reduce the number of migrants by 300,000.

Tightening of Care Worker Rules

Home Secretary James Cleverly announced a significant tightening of care worker rules, preventing them from bringing dependents altogether.

Graduate Route Review

A review of the graduate route, which allows people to stay in the UK for two years after university, will be launched.

Mixed Reactions

While some Tory MPs welcome the plan, others believe it doesn't go far enough and that further action is needed to reduce immigration numbers.

Opposition Criticism

Labour's shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, calls the plan an "admission of years of total failure" by the Conservative government.

Overall, Sunak's plan aims to address public concerns about immigration and implement stricter rules to reduce net migration by 300,000 per year.
