1 week ago Keir Starmer to announce new measures to ‘tighten up’ immigration system – UK politics live

Prime minster to unveil immigration white paper that he claimes will be ‘clean break from past’What change in rules means for migrants and employersThe Conservatives have rejected suggestions that Keir Starmer is being tough on immigration. In a statement released overnight in response to the briefing about the white paper plans, Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said:Keir Starmer pretends to be tough, but just weeks ago his MPs voted against our 10-year residency and economic contribution test for indefinite leave to remain. Now he says that immigrants who make no contribution should still be allowed to stay.He is trying to take steal credit for recent substantial reductions in visa numbers that resulted from Conservative reforms in April 2024.International recruitment is a lifeline for the homecare sector, enabling us to provide vital support to older and disabled people in their own homes.

A solidly made adaptation of the Playstation hit sees a group of twentysomethings stuck in a gory death loopA week after the release of Ryan Coogler’s unusual, artfully crafted horror Sinners, we are now back to the industry’s genre norm with Until Dawn, a schlocky video game adaptation that has far less on its mind. Such a drastic drop in IQ and ambition means there’s no serious comparison to be made here and this weekend there’ll be no real competition at the box office (Sinners is likely to remain on top) so such contrast does ultimately allow the film to stay within its own, sillier space, a deep-fried donut for dessert after a filet mignon entree.On its own, lower-stakes terms, Until Dawn is a passable, if rather unfrightening frightener, made with some skill and enlivened by a strong troupe of young actors, enough to notch it slightly above the piss-poor standard but not quite enough to really justify its existence.
