DEVELOPING: Shabana Mahmood to Unveil Plan for Migrant Settled Status Rights

BREAKING NEWS Labour's Shabana Mahmood to Unveil Plan for Migrant Settled Status Rights Shabana Mahmood, Labour's Home Secretary, is set to announce a new plan for migrant settled status rights at the Labour conference. The proposal will require migrants to meet strict conditions, including learning English to a high standard and volunteering in their community, to earn the right to remain in the UK. The plan aims to double the period it takes to gain indefinite leave to remain from five years to 10 years. Migrants will also have to prove they are contributing to society by having a clean criminal record and participating in community activities. This is a significant shift in Labour's immigration policy, drawing a clear dividing line between the party and Reform UK, which wants to abolish indefinite leave to remain altogether. The announcement comes as part of a package of plans to cut immigration. A consultation on the proposals was announced in May. This is a developing story.
