Labour ignoring working-class concerns on immigration, says party MP
Jonathan Hinder, a leading Red Wall MP for Pendle and Clitheroe, said the issue was an 'existential threat' for the party after Reform's victories at the English local elections. The MP claimed Starmer should commit to a 'one in, one out' system by the end of the parliament, effectively freezing migration. Hinder, writing in the Telegraph, said it was 'now or never' for Starmer to convince traditional backers. READ MORE: Are Donald Trump's Scottish businesses actually a financial success? The MP is part of the socially conservative Blue Labour caucus. 'The voters know instinctively what the Left often refuses to acknowledge – immigration is fundamentally an economic issue as much as it is anything else, and working-class people are generally the losers,' Hinder said. 'Imagine for a moment, hard as it may be, that Labour pivoted sharply on immigration. A goal of roughly balanced migration – equal numbers emigrating as immigrating – was communicated and steadily delivered by the end of this Parliament. 'This would return us to the more or less balanced net migration levels we had for decades.' Jonathan Hinder is a Labour MP (Image: House of Commons) Reform has said it will effectively freeze all non-essential migration, and its chairman told the BBC they would be publishing a plan in the coming weeks setting out their policy. Labour has pledged to cut immigration numbers significantly, but has not committed to a cap. We told how ministers are reportedly planning on cracking down on international students applying for asylum in the UK after suffering huge losses to Reform. In 2024, Labour won back dozens of 'Red Wall' seats in the north and midlands that turned blue in 2019 while Boris Johnson was leader of the Tories. But Nigel Farage's party has made no secret that it hopes to gain these seats at the next General Election. Farage claimed in the wake of his party's election win that Reform is now 'the party of the working class'. READ MORE: What are Donald Trump's family and business ties to Scotland?

'This is existential for the Labour Party now. Our drift away from our working-class base has been decades in the making, and goes far deeper than the tenure of any one leader.

A recent poll by More in Common found that 81% of Reform voters back the party because of its stance on migration.

‘Hyper-liberal' Labour ignoring working-class immigration concerns, says Red Wall MP
Sir Keir Starmer's 'hyper-liberal' Labour Party is ignoring working-class concerns about immigration, one of its leading Red Wall MPs has said. Jonathan Hinder said the issue was an 'existential threat' for the Labour Party after Reform UK's historic triumph at last week's local elections. The MP for Pendle and Clitheroe suggested Sir Keir should commit to effectively freezing migration by the end of the parliament through a 'one in, one out' system. Writing for The Telegraph, Mr Hinder, a leading MP in the socially conservative Blue Labour caucus, warned Sir Keir that it was 'now or never' for him to convince traditional backers. He said: 'The voters know instinctively what the Left often refuses to acknowledge – immigration is fundamentally an economic issue as much as it is anything else, and working class people are generally the losers. 'Imagine for a moment, hard as it may be, that Labour pivoted sharply on immigration. A goal of roughly balanced migration – equal numbers emigrating as immigrating – was communicated and steadily delivered by the end of this Parliament. 'This would return us to the more or less balanced net migration levels we had for decades.' Labour has pledged to cut numbers significantly in the coming years but refuses to commit to a migration cap, while Reform is offering an effective freeze on all non-essential migration. Last year's general election saw Labour win back dozens of 'Red Wall' seats in its traditional northern and Midlands heartlands that had backed the Tories under Boris Johnson in 2019. But Nigel Farage's party has made no secret of its ambition to gain these seats at the next national poll. Mr Farage claimed Reform is now 'the party of the working class' after it won control of councils in Durham, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. It also beat Labour by six votes at last Thursday's by-election in Runcorn and Helsby in Cheshire. Mr Hinder said that only the implosion of the Tory brand under the leadership of Boris Johnson and then Liz Truss had given his party 'one last chance' with blue-collar voters. He said: 'This week's results should be the wake-up call we need.' 'But Labour has morphed into a hyper-liberal party more than a socialist party, such that secure borders and low immigration are seen as 'Right-wing' within its ecosystem of city-based activists, think tanks and associated organisations. 'This is existential for the Labour Party now. Our drift away from our working-class base has been decades in the making, and goes far deeper than the tenure of any one leader. 'Platitudes about 'listening' and 'learning' will not do. It is now or never for Labour and the working class. Mr Hinder also suggested changing or leaving the European Convention of Human Rights, calling for 'every legal obstacle' to tackling the small boats to be removed. These measures, he argued – along with a cap on the number of refugees accepted into the UK per year – would leave Mr Farage and Reform with 'nothing left to say'. He said the Conservatives would be able to offer no response 'but hang their heads in shame' after net migration reached a record level of nearly one million in 2022. Mr Hinder accused the Tories of having 'stuck two fingers up at their new voter coalition in the most spectacular way, unleashing the 'Boriswave' of non-European migration'. Lord Maurice Glasman, the Labour peer, warned on Sunday that Labour must fulfil its promise to cut net migration or face the same fate as the Tories. He told The Sun: 'They said 'take back control', they said 'controlled immigration', they said 'levelling up'. 'But they did the opposite and are no longer trusted. Be under no illusions, this Labour Government faces the same odium and fate as the Tories unless it acts decisively to lead the country in the right direction.' Sweeping cuts to migration are also one of the key demands of the 35-strong Red Wall Group of Labour MPs. Jo White, the group's leader, has said that it has long been the 'key issue' in her constituency of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire. A recent poll by the More in Common think tank found that 81 per cent of Reform voters back the party because of its stance on immigration. The second most popular reason – people liking Mr Farage – was chosen by 31 per cent of respondents, while 22 per cent cited their policies on the economy. Luke Tryl, the UK director of More in Common, said: 'The key drivers of disillusionment that are fragmenting British politics are the cost of living, NHS and immigration – with Reform the biggest beneficiaries of the demand for change. 'What makes Reform voters unique is the extent to which it is Reform's policies on immigration which, more than anything else, motivates their vote. 'For other parties, the task is to find their own answer to that, and for reform as it grows its base to reassure people it is more than a one-issue party.' It is now or never for Labour and the working class by Jonathan Hinder Can you hear that familiar sound? The engines of the liberal establishment are revving up to explain why Reform's success is definitely not down to the one thing we know it definitely is: immigration. More in Common, a polling company, recently asked Reform UK voters why they would vote for them, and 81 per cent said immigration, with the next most popular reason being 'I like their leader', down at 31 per cent. The primary reason for Reform's rise is staring us all in the face, but from the moment the declaration was made at Runcorn, one of Labour's safest seats just ten months ago, the cognitive gymnastics began to explain why this was down to anything but politicians' unwillingness to listen to voters on immigration. Of course, it is clear that our economy is not working as it should for ordinary people in the small towns like those I represent in Pendle & Clitheroe. I want profiteering multi-nationals to pay their fair share of tax, public services run for the common good, not for private profit, and much greater investment in our crumbling infrastructure. On this, I find agreement with those who refuse to acknowledge the immigration issue. But the voters know instinctively what the Left often refuses to acknowledge – immigration is fundamentally an economic issue as much as it is anything else, and working-class people are generally the losers. Imagine for a moment, hard as it may be, that Labour pivoted sharply on immigration. A goal of roughly balanced migration – equal numbers emigrating as immigrating – was communicated and steadily delivered by the end of this Parliament. This would return us to the more or less balanced net migration levels we had for decades until the mid-1990s. Imagine too that every legal obstacle to tackling the small boats crisis was systematically removed, so that there was no incentive for migrants to make the dangerous channel crossing in the first place, all asylum hotels could be shut, and instead a set number of refugees could be accepted from abroad in a controlled manner each year. What would Reform have left if the immigration issue were resolved in this way? Their domestic policy programme is utterly incoherent, not that it matters because few voters know or care what it is. They would have nothing left to say if one of the two main parties finally listened to what the voters have been telling them at every opportunity for the last twenty years. Meanwhile, what could the Conservatives do in response but hang their heads in shame? With freedom of movement gone, they had the opportunity to deliver the low levels of immigration sought by the vast majority of the electorate. Instead, they stuck two fingers up at their new voter coalition in the most spectacular way, unleashing the 'Boriswave' of non-European migration, with net migration peaking at nearly one million in a single year. In 2019, it looked like Labour as a party of the working class may be gone forever, but the Conservatives' implosion under Boris Johnson and then Liz Truss gave us one last chance. Many voters were so keen to rid the country of the chaotic Conservatives that we squeaked home in hundreds of constituencies across the country, with a very efficiently spread vote share of 33.7 per cent, just a smidge higher than we had scored in the drubbing of 2019 (32.1 per cent). So, this week's results should be the wake-up call we need. But Labour has morphed into a hyper-liberal party more than a socialist party, such that secure borders and low immigration are seen as 'Right-wing' within its ecosystem of city-based activists, think tanks and associated organisations. No matter that high immigration is, of course, the capitalist's dream. This is existential for the Labour Party now. Our drift away from our working-class base has been decades in the making, and goes far deeper than the tenure of any one leader. Platitudes about 'listening' and 'learning' will not do. It is now or never for Labour and the working class.
