Labour and Reform UK have spent the past few days locked in a renewed political clash over immigration, following Nigel Farage's proposal to scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrants. The proposal faced sharp pushback from Labour figures, including party leader Sir Keir Starmer, who denounced the policy as 'racist' and 'immoral'.
Yet critics argue that Labour's own proposals, such as the introduction of digital IDs as a means to curb illegal immigration, suggest that the two parties' enforcement strategy may not be so different after all.
