The prime minister has announced a plan to reduce net migration as he warned the UK risks becoming an "island of strangers".

Sir Keir Starmer wants to bring in tougher English language tests and restrict overseas carer recruitment as part of his policy overhaul to "tighten up" the immigration system.

On this episode of the Paste BN Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our deputy political editor Sam Coates to discuss whether this is a change in direction for the government after suffering losses in the local elections.
