Sir Keir Starmer has admitted that Labour has previously got it wrong on migration.
Writing for The Telegraph ahead of a speech countering Reform UK, the Prime Minister acknowledged that, before his leadership, the party “did shy away” from voters’ concerns on illegal immigration.
Sir Keir also unveiled plans for every adult to be issued with a digital ID card to combat illegal migration. The cards would become mandatory for work by the end of the decade. He wrote: “There is no doubt that for years Left-wing parties, including my own, did shy away from people’s concerns around illegal immigration. It has been too easy for people to enter the country, work in the shadow economy and remain illegally.
“We must be absolutely clear that tackling every aspect of the problem of illegal immigration is essential.”
The announcement comes 15 years after Sir Tony Blair’s ID card scheme was scrapped by the incoming Conservative-led coalition on the basis that it was “an erosion of civil liberties”.
The Prime Minister’s speech on patriotism, at the Global Progress Action Conference in London on Friday, is an attempt to take on both Reform and far-Right figures such as Tommy Robinson.
It comes with Sir Keir – on the eve of Labour’s annual party conference – under growing pressure to show that he is capable of reversing the surge in support for Nigel Farage’s party. The Prime Minister is also battling a potential leadership challenge from Andy Burnham, who said in a Telegraph interview this week that MPs were urging him to stand against Sir Keir.
Sir Keir used a TV interview on Thursday to draw a comparison between Mr Burnham and Liz Truss, claiming that his rival’s spending plans would lead to “the infliction of harm” on working people.

Opportunism, or the plan all along? Something really evil is happening here.
The migrant crisis was a pretext to introduce digital ID. They need digital ID to track every dollar you make to confiscate it.
The Mark of the Beast
Anything except stop them from coming. 🙄
My bad on that one, OK ?
“Shy away…” #%@&$!!! You wanted them, invited them, feted them, and put them on the dole at taxpayer expence. It’s your disaster.
So many PMs have stepped down for far less than you've done to the country.
When they start deporting people to their chithole native lands, only then should we believe him.
So Labour is going to use illegals to force a national ID card on every British citizen. Evil is in full control of England.
It was the plan all along.
“...15 years after Sir Tony Blair’s ID card scheme was scrapped by the incoming Conservative-led coalition on the basis that it was “an erosion of civil liberties”.”
It took Labour’s invitation of illegals to force acceptance of this “erosion of civil liberties”. I’m sure this card will be used for employment, housing, medical care, welfare, pensions, etc.
And the card can be cancelled for any of those with just the push of the “enter” key.
“Mistakes were made. Let’s move on shall we?”
More of Starmer’s mealy-mouthed double-speak
He knows very well nothing will change.
Did he say anything about stopping the current invasion?
He opens the border to criminals, then he treats all the regular citizens as criminal suspects.
this clown has the appearance of childhood trauma — hence the revenge
Oh myyyyyy, REFORM UK are 16 points clear in this poll, and 2 points above the Tories and Labour combined!!!

A precursor of things to come for sure.

All According to Plan:
Step 1: CREATE “The Problem”
Step 2: MAKE the Citizens Suffer
Step 3: PRESENT “The Solution”
Step 4: MAKE PARTICIPATION is MANDATORY
COVID-19(84) was an excellent dry run

How a young Sir Keir Starmer ended up in Communist spy files after joining a Czechoslovakian work camp during Cold War
The files from Sir Keir’s camp do not specify whether the secret police planned to use the information they harvested from him and others, but security experts said they also appeared to be gathering intelligence about young high-fliers in Western countries for potential long-term use.
As well as the now Labour leader, other members of his brigade – who also came from the United States, West Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands, France and Czechoslovakia – included one who later worked in a senior role in the European Commission and another who became a partner in a City law firm.
Sir Keir had just completed a postgraduate law degree at Oxford University and was about to embark on his barrister training when he arrived for the two-week camp at the Czech-German border town of Cheb on August 16, 1986, according to stamps on the visa.
