UK to end immigration from third world countries?

British MP Rupert Lowe, representing the Restore Britain party, announced plans to halt immigration from developing nations at the party conference. Countries targeted include Somalia, Pakistan, Eritrea, Albania, Afghanistan, Iran, and Bangladesh. During his speech on 3rd October 2026, Lowe declared an end to civilian immigration from these countries, advocating for stricter enforcement and policy changes.

He warned there will be no new immigration from Pakistan, stating the party will implement a red list and discriminate as any responsible nation should. Lowe, who has represented Great Yarmouth since July 2024, has proposed deporting undocumented migrants and removing foreign nationals failing to meet stricter criteria. His party also plans to abolish the refugee system and tighten the rules for British citizenship.

This radical shift from the current immigration framework, which permits entry for work, study, family reunification, and asylum, reflects growing concerns over immigration's impact on public services, housing, and asylum seekers' accommodation.
