Claim revived that Starmer's 2003 legal win opened UK benefits to migrants
Original: Never forget that in 2003 Keir Starmer won the case that gave illegal migrants access to UK benefits. Twenty three years
Keir Starmer, as a human rights barrister in the early 2000s, successfully challenged government rules that denied certain welfare support to asylum seekers and migrants without lawful status. Critics online are recirculating the case, arguing it contributed to today's disputes over migration and benefits, while defenders say he was upholding the law as a lawyer.
Why now: Migration and benefits policy is a heated political issue in the UK, and opponents are using Starmer's past legal career to attack him.
