DEVELOPING: UK Embarks on Urgent Overhaul of Immigration System, Drawing Inspiration from Denmark

Breaking News: UK Embarks on Urgent Overhaul of Immigration System Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce a major shake-up of the UK's immigration and asylum system later this month. According to sources, Mahmood will model some of her new measures on the Danish system, which is considered one of the toughest in Europe. The UK government is expected to introduce tighter rules on family reunion and restrict most refugees to a temporary stay in the country. This move aims to reduce incentives that draw people to the UK and make it easier to expel those with no right to be in the country. The decision comes as a response to the recent surge in migrant crossings, with 1,269 people crossing the English Channel in small boats on Thursday and Friday. This is a significant increase from the two weeks of bad weather when there were no crossings. The UK government has been studying the Danish immigration system, which has been in place since 1983. The system has been praised for its efficiency and effectiveness in managing immigration. The announcement is expected to be made later this month, but some Labour MPs have expressed concerns about the direction of the new measures.
