Labour AND the Tories betrayed young people by making us compete for jobs with foreign workers. Now Rachel Reeves wants to do even more damage, writes JACK ANDERTON

When Boris Johnson entered the Download Street in 2019, he promised to give the basic promise of the voting campaign and ‘take the control of the borders of the UK.

Conservative Manifesto ‘Australian -style score -based system to control migration’ promised. As black and white, the voters were told: ‘It will be less low -skilled immigrants and the general numbers will fall.’

After six years, everyone knows what really happened. Instead of reducing the number of immigrants, the last Torah government supervised the largest influx in British history.

More than three million came from 2022 and 2024 – a larger population than Birmingham and Manchester. Of course, some of them separated – but this was a migration that betrayed Tories’s mission.

Time bomb

In order to fight this, reform British leader Nigel Farage promised to remove uncertain permissions if he came to power last week.

This status, social housing, free NHS maintenance, benefits and state pensions are only five years and authorized the remaining immigrants in their dependents. Children born here automatically gain British citizenship.

The Center for Policy Research Think-Bank predicted that more than 800,000 immigrants from recent years would apply for ILR when five-year visas were exhausted.

Financing its benefits throughout the remaining life will cost £ 234 billion to every United Kingdom, which they calculate that it is worth 8,200 £ 8,200.

Nevertheless, instead of addressing this financial time bomb, the Prime Minister described the reform plan yesterday – asking those who have the status of Ilr to re -apply for the visa and to dismiss them as ‘racist’ and ‘immoral’. This is insulting millions of ordinary British who are deeply concerned about the country’s mass migration scale in recent years.

However, the invoice to taxpayers is only starting. Every day, young British like me are currently causing deeper damage to young British who have to compete with millions of international workers for graduate and graduate roles.

Our universities host 750,000 foreign students – equivalent to the population of 750,000 foreign students who are eagerly welcomed by the institutions that like the higher wages they pay.

After graduation, the ratio of the remaining international students rose from 18 percent to 56 percent in 2019 to 56 percent in 2019, and after completing their classes for non -British students, after a TORY policy that was entitled to work here for at least two years, the doctoral students are three years.

Until the dying days of the Tory rule in January 2024, these international students can even bring family members and addicts with them and then quietly go to a working visa before finishing their courses.

According to the National Statistics Office, half of non -EU students moved to work or other visas in 2024 in 2024 in 2024. Nevertheless, the engineer was not to be software developers or to fill other high qualified roles.

The analysis by Oxford University Migration Observatory shows about 40 percent of people who switch directly from direct working visas to talented workers’ visas in 2024.

As the mail of Sunday reported yesterday, Rachel Reeves was convinced that the answer to the economic problems of England was to make it easier for young foreigners to work here.

All of these consequences can be fully predicted. According to the High Fliers Research Research, only 27 percent of senior students provided a job until February of this academic year-the lowest figure since 33 percent and 2021’s pandemic year. On average, senior students made 21 records up to 12 in 2023.

Of course, other factors in the game: Artificial intelligence, finance, law and the media are included in the graduate roles, while Rachel Reeves’s budget of growth last October in the budget of employers’ national insurance to employ the increase.

However, considering these worrying structural tendencies and considering that young people refuse Tories in the last election, you may have thought that the Worker will do different jobs. You will be wrong.

As the mail of Sunday reported yesterday, Reeves was now convinced that the answer to the economic problems of England was to make it easier for young foreigners to come here and work. Brussels believes that the flagship ‘Youth Mobility Program’ will increase growth and reduce the need to increase taxes further. Even if he is right-and experts involving the Institute of Financial Research, even if he insists that he is not, it is clear that this controversial attempt will face the risk of damaging the career expectations of British graduates and non-graduates.

Here, the program, which is marketed as a way to enjoy life in Paris or Berlin, 18 to 30 -year -old British, will open our business market to hundreds of unemployed and cheap Europeans, most of the countries where youth unemployment is double -digit.

Joke

For example, in Spain, according to official figures, for example, 27 percent of young people who leave school and greater than 25 years) do not work.

Mathematics is simple: If the number of workers rises faster than the number of jobs, wages fall. And British wages have been stagnant or falling since 2008, according to the Cities Center, workers in most regions of the country are not better than 16 years ago.

One of the four jobs advertised to graduates is really paying the minimum or just a little higher – and remember, the average British graduate is already £ 53,000 when the government begins to repay loans according to its own statistics.

Oxford University Migration Observatory reached 40 percent of the people who switched directly from working visas to talented workers’ visas last year.

Separately, Starmer plans to relax the so -called global ability visa allocated for world -class innovators and distinguished figures in the so -called critical industries.

In practice, this plan has become a joke. He was a successful applicant who came to England last year, Transsexual Turkish Drag artist Kubra Uzun. Long later found escort services in East London.

Defective

Nevertheless, instead of squeezing the standards, the global ability application fee to make it easier for companies to import cheap labor – already only 766 £ – already wants to cut. To endanger the future of young British workers.

In the face of the Atlantic, Donald Trump goes to the other direction. The administration increased the cost of the US-1B ‘talented worker’ visa to approximately 100,000 dollars per employee, and rather than importing US companies from abroad, sharply encouraged local workers to hire.

Trump first puts American workers. Tories and Emek made the opposite. Both are locked in an unsuccessful economic model built on mass migration and low wages. The conservatives broke their promises and presided on record entries: Now they gather as a zombie party waiting for the election tomb.

Labor seems to intend to flood with more workers than abroad, which provides lower wages and less opportunity for young British.

A serious government about the future of Britain would act quickly. Ilr. To hire foreign workers more expensive than educating the British to increase visa costs. Reduce and restrict migration.

The young British deserve better. They deserve a government that values ​​their education and hard work, secures the borders and refuses to treat them as disposable chips in a global labor market.
