Immigration is the albatross around UK politics

The Office for National Statistics is expected to reveal a fall in net migration to the UK on Thursday .

Immigration is the albatross around UK politics, writes Andrew Keen .

Keen: In 1968 , two events launched a realignment in which Britons increasingly started to vote based on attitudes to immigration and race.

Keen says the number of people who thought there were "too many immigrants" in the country remained well above 50% .

Labour leader Sir Keir Keir says immigration has caused "incalculable damage" to the UK .

He says he wants to "close the book on a squalid chapter for our politics, our economy and our country"? A decade on from that vote, attitudes to immigration are warming and softening, experts say.

Sir Keir 's plan does not promise to end immigration but to reduce legal immigration by toughening visa rules.

As part of the changes, more arrivals - as well as their dependents - will have to pass an English test in order to get a visa.

Migrants will also have to wait 10 years to apply for the right to stay in the UK indefinitely.
