there's a couple of different major announcements today, from labour, there is this pledge from the labour leader, sir keir starmer, to cut net migration. he says that the way the party would do this would be, for example, by training up more uk workers to take certainjobs, but also by punishing employers, firms, that don't pay workers very high wages, employ lots of cheap labourfrom abroad, essentially saying that if they don't pay people proper wages, then they could be banned from hiring foreign workers. however, when the shadow home secretary yvette cooper was asked on the bbc just now about what type of numbers labour would be looking to bring down that figure to, she didn't give a specific answer. we would expect to see the numbers coming down swiftly. we have supported some of the measures that are expected to come in next place and we also want to make sure that we can move quickly on some
15 the snp have been dominant at westminster in terms of scottish seats and from the last general election the snp won a8 seats, conservative six, liberal democrats four and labour conservative six, liberal democrats fourand labourare conservative six, liberal democrats four and labour arejust a single seat. we have boundary changes this time so we are not comparing like for like but the polls suggest, and of course they come with health warnings, the gap between the snp and labour has drastically narrowed and labour has drastically narrowed and recent polls suggest labour are ahead of the snp in scotland. for decades, labourwere ahead of the snp in scotland. for decades, labour were the biggest party here in scotland by some way, especially in the central belt, labour once again i dozens of seats across scotland, particularly in glasgow in the west of scotland. we have already seen keir starmer come to scotland since the campaign launch twice and we have seen rishi
