The Home Secretary on Monday unveiled a series of new conditions for migrants who want to settle in the UK, including ensuring they learn English to a high standard, work, have a clean criminal record and volunteer in their community.
Under current plans these new conditions will not apply to the controversial so-called ‘Boriswave’ of hundreds of thousands of migrants, many of whom were lower skilled, that arrived in the UK under Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit immigration rules between 2021 and 2024.
It comes despite Sir Keir Starmer this week branding Nigel Farage’s plan to end the right to settle in the UK – partially designed to deal with the Boriswave – “racist” because it would see people who have lived in the country for decades deported.
Stopping the slide to ‘littler England’
She warned that while not everyone at the protest was racist, there was a risk that more people would slide from patriotism – “a force for good” – towards “ethno-nationalism”, unless Labour dealt with people’s concerns that amid mass legal immigration and the Channel small boats crisis the country was “spinning out of control”.
Working-class communities will turn away from Labour and “seek solace in the false promises of [Reform UK leader Nigel] Farage” if the Government fails to act on migration concerns, Mahmood added.
Without this, she said people “will turn towards something smaller, something narrower, something less welcoming, and the division within this country will grow”.
In its white paper published in May, the Government also pledged to increase the amount of time migrants have to wait before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK, to 10 years.
Currently, most migrants who come to Britain on time-limited work visas can make an application for indefinite leave to remain after five years.
