Sir Keir Starmer is back on the television, delivering yet another TED Talk nobody asked for—this time with added moral conviction and a sprinkle of “Here’s what’s best for you, peasants.” You can always tell it’s election season when politicians stop listening and start explaining.

Apparently, he’s drafting a white paper to fix immigration. Yes, another glossy document destined to be read by three civil servants and a confused intern. Of course, smugglers didn’t get the memo—they’re too busy innovating faster than half of Silicon Valley.

Next week, expect the blue paper—outlining what to do when the white paper fails. Followed by the red paper when it all goes up in flames. By Christmas, we’ll be knee-deep in a rainbow coalition of recycled PDFs and vague promises.

The plan? Only high-skilled migrants from now on. No more of those low-skilled types—unless, of course, they can master the ancient dual arts of cutting both men’s and women’s hair or operating the enchanted hose of a car wash. Because Britain runs on double standards and shampoo.

We’ll welcome a wave of newcomers holding PhDs in Photoshop, with diplomas printed on cereal boxes. They’ll become nurses overnight, armed with stethoscopes bought on Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, British kids will continue their education in asbestos-lined classrooms, using rulers as hammers and textbooks from 1997.

But don’t worry—Sir Keir says this will all make sense once we “build a fairer Britain.” He just hasn’t asked anyone what “fair” actually means. Probably because that question wasn’t on the briefing paper.
