Labour's immigration challenge

from The Capitalist Hosted by CapX

Labour is playing a dangerous game on immigration – edging closer to Reform’s hardline rhetoric but risking alienation from their own base, while never going far enough to satisfy Reform’s supporters. Against this backdrop, Rachel Reeves prepares the ground for potential tax rises. Can Labour raise revenue without choking off long-term growth? Marc Sidwell is joined by City AM’s Alys Denby and Dr Lawrence Newport of the Looking for Growth campaign. Also on the agenda: what the government’s new residency rules mean for Britain’s workforce, and whether cutting obscure planning red tape will really deliver the economic momentum Labour has promised.
