Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised on Monday to cut net migration to Britain significantly over the next four years, saying the country risked becoming "an island of strangers" without tougher rules on immigration.

Starmer said he would end the UK’s “experiment in open borders” with tougher plans to curb migration, seeking to head off the growing electoral threat from Nigel Farage’s populist Reform party.

Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts criticised the language used by the Prime Minister, saying ‘somebody here has to call this out’.
