Keir Starmer’s decision not to commit to an immigration pledge in today’s key relaunch speech has been questioned by a local butcher in Grimsby.
Gary Burke, owner of Gary’s Meat, spoke on GB News to Emily Carver about the Prime Minister’s “plan for change”, which will spell out his priorities for office.
But the 40-page document will not contain anything new on immigration, it has been reported, something that disappointed the butcher.
“If he stops all the boats coming in, it would be a lot better”, he said.
Asked about the glaring omission from the dossier, he said: “I thought it would have been [included].
“He can take £300 off pensioners for the heating allowance but they’ll give millions to look after those coming on the boats. I cannot understand it.

“A lot of people don’t like to say anything, but I do. People don’t want to be seen as racist.”
Starmer will today unveil six major targets in a speech aimed at rebooting his administration, but immigration targets will be notably absent from his agenda.
The announcement comes as the Labour leader attempts to win back public confidence, with recent polling showing 53 per cent of voters are 'disappointed' with his government's performance.
Speaking at a film studio in Buckinghamshire at 10:45am, Starmer will present what he calls his 'plan for change', though he will set no targets for reducing immigration despite Conservative criticism of this policy area.
"Hard-working Brits are going out grafting every day but are getting short shrift from a politics that should serve them," Starmer will say.
Instead of immigration, Starmer will focus on six key areas including raising living standards and cutting NHS waiting lists.
He has pledged to build 1.5 million new homes and improve pre-school education, alongside setting new targets for green energy.
A significant focus will be placed on policing, with plans to introduce a 'neighbourhood policing guarantee' providing a named, contactable officer for every community in Britain.
Labour has committed to recruiting 13,000 new community police officers, which would boost the total police workforce above its 2010 peak.
The Prime Minister will also promise £100 million to support neighbourhood policing, though Conservative critics argue this funding falls short.
