The immigration white paper is expected to be published in late March or early April, a Government source told The i Paper.
In November, revised official figures showed net migration to the UK hit a record 906,000 in 2023, and was 728,000 for the year to June 2024.
The document is also expected to take into account a Migration Advisory Committee review ordered by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to limit overseas hiring by technology and engineering firms.
The move is being seen as a bid to take the fight to Reform, which last week topped a YouGov opinion poll for the first time on 25 points, above Labour on 24 and the Tories on 21.
Government insiders insist the decision to publish the videos and images is not designed primarily to tackle Reform, but instead to show sceptical voters that ministers are delivering on their concerns.
Insiders are expecting Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives to suffer more than Labour at the hands of Reform at May’s local election, although polls in 2026 could prove more tricky for Starmer’s party.
Rachael Maskell said: “While it is right for Labour to target the criminal activity behind the trafficking of people, it is wrong to scapegoat their victims.
“Government should just get on with the business of good governance and ensure that it is transparent, just and upholding international law and people’s human rights.”
“If people are persuaded that immigration is the principal problem facing the UK then they will vote for the real thing – racists – not Labour’s pallid copycat approach.”
