Summary: Labour MPs in the "Red Wall" constituencies are urging Sir Keir Starmer to adopt a tougher stance on immigration, warning that failure to address this issue could result in losing seats to the Reform Party in the next election. The group, representing former Labour strongholds in the North and Midlands, has formed a pressure group to push for clearer messaging on key issues, including immigration, access to healthcare, anti-social behavior, and the cost of living. They want to ensure their concerns are better represented in government policies, especially as Reform Party support grows. The MPs are calling for the government to demonstrate concrete action on immigration, deportations, and reducing reliance on overseas workers. As net migration figures remain high, they pressure Starmer to make clear his plans to address this issue.
