Labour's plans to slash 'catastrophically high' net migration risk FAILURE as Britain faces 9 million-strong population explosion

The article from MSN discusses Labour's proposed immigration policies in the UK, highlighting the challenges and potential failures of these plans. Labour aims to reduce net migration, which has been described as "catastrophically high," by focusing on training British workers for jobs currently filled by migrants. However, the article points out that these plans might not succeed due to several factors: the UK's population is projected to grow by 9 million by 2046, driven by both migration and natural increase. This growth could exacerbate the demand for labor, particularly in sectors like health and social care where there are already significant shortages. Critics argue that without addressing underlying issues like low wages, poor working conditions, and the need for a comprehensive skills strategy, simply reducing migration might not solve the labor shortages. Moreover, the article suggests that the complexity of immigration policy, coupled with economic needs, makes a drastic reduction in net migration unlikely, potentially leading to continued reliance on foreign workers.
