Is this Sir Keir Starmer’s biggest week as PM?

Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy preview how the day will play out in British politics.

Today’s the day when Sir Keir Starmer finally reveals his big shake-up of migration laws. Sam and Anne discuss the focus on low-skilled workers that will be big for the social care and university sectors, and how there’s a growing concern in government that the benefits of migration are being overstated.

That’s how the PM wants to start the week, but his agenda might be overshadowed by international events. The Foreign Secretary David Lammy will be part of today’s efforts to make sure Vladimir Putin shows up to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Istanbul on Thursday.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
