Sir Keir Starmer described the record levels of immigration as a “squalid chapter” for politics and the economy as he unveiled the most radical crackdown on migration since Brexit.

He was speaking in a Downing Street press conference ahead of the publication of an immigration white paper that set out details of how the government intends to introduce restrictions across all forms of visas to the UK.

Foreign students will only be allowed to stay in the UK for 18 months after their studies before having to get a skilled work visa, down from two years currently. Universities will also face being charged for each foreign student they enrol.

Employers could be barred from hiring foreign workers if they fail to train up domestic workers in their sectors. Migrant workers will only be able to come to the UK for graduate-level jobs, except in a very limited number of shortage occupations.
