Phil Twyford

Labour’s immigration spokesperson, Phil Twyford, says it is disappointing to see the Government fighting among itself while people are struggling. He says the country needs a stable government.

He joined Radio Tarana host Sanjesh Narain to discuss Labour’s chances of winning the election in light of the latest leadership struggle within the governing party.

On immigration policy, Twyford says Labour supports the latest changes to the Parent Category visa, but believes the Parent Boost Visitor visa remains out of reach for many migrants who struggle to meet the medical insurance and income threshold requirements. He says Labour will announce a more migrant-friendly immigration policy soon.
