Sir Keir Starmer said in a speech yesterday

The former Labour cabinet minister said his review had found “no evidence” of a link between migration levels and the number of young people not in employment, education or training (Neet).

He told a press conference in London: “It's a blame-game issue. We just sort of blame immigration as the problem - it’s not really, it isn’t.”
