Focus on boosting workers’ rights rather than immigration raids to quash Farage threat, Starmer told

Keir Starmer has been warned that the best way to see off the threat from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is to dramatically improve workers’ rights, not try to mimic him on migration.

New polling commissioned by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the campaign group Hope Not Hate have revealed that Reform voters strongly support plans to improve workers’ rights and ban exploitative practices by employers including zero hours contracts.
