Because many came via fraudulent companies for jobs that don’t exist. We need time to revoke their sponsor licenses and filter them out. (Labour has revoked record numbers “As we now know, fraud was rife - with phoney care providers created to draw people to this country on a false promise of work.”) Because it’s a stupid policy to allow private…

Labour can't execute anything GOOD such as the winter fuel cuts, and now this. All watered down. And Andy Burnham expects us to believe that he'll actually end the triple lock? LOL

It could be applied cleanly to the Boriswave if you state it only applies to people who arrived post 2020, and then add in a bunch of conditions - eg earned a salary below £X, claimed £Y in UC, etc. And I’m not sure it’s implausible for Reform. Retrospectively abolishing ILR seemed implausible in 2024, but they commit to it in 2025. The treaties…

Well no. Because these people immigrated here and can emigrate back to where they came from. So it’s very very different.

People will simultaneously complain about private companies exploiting workers for profit and advocate for importing foreigners to help private companies make more profit. What happened to if you can’t pay your staff a living wage your company shouldn’t exist.

These areas voted 50% or more for reform at the locals. There just aren't enough open border fans in tameside to make a pro-migration stance work.

Reducing immigration isn't just cutting down the number of arrivals, it also means that migrants on a temporary visas should go home once they expire.

Yeah exactly. Not only that but so soon after Burnham's ascension and just before the conference. It's full on infighting, and it makes me wonder why she even joined the cabinet in the first place, given he was likely to stick to Mahmood's plans. Tinfoil hat time, but I bet she's heard Burnham is going to try and attempt welfare cuts at the…

Mahmood’s reforms will increase the timeline for permanent residence in the UK from five years to 15 years for foreign social care workers, and will apply to all those who have come to the country since 2021. Good

The longer they delay this the more they effectively win. Boriswave is already arriving at the 5 year ILR mark. This is probably the thing that will stop me considering voting Labour come the next election.

They want the socialist utopia they dream of until the banks empty whilst forgetting thats there wasn't a typical Conservative government behind them that fills the treasury
-
The NGOs are making millions off the government and the immigration racket. The politicians are all in bed with them so they are looking out for their interests.
-
The communities secretary said Mahmood had “changed the goalposts” by making it harder for foreign social care workers to live in the UK permanently Well yes that's entirely the point. Changing the rules so they're more appropriate. That's what most reforms and law updates are
-
Finally, some clear words. I am certain people will pounce on this, but Mahmood's plan is clearly illogical, no wonder it wasn't popular. Also, the strategy to use a brown person to make racist migration plan isn't working so well.

Tbf to Rayner, what she said wasn't about increasing or reducing immigration, it was about people who are already here.

Angela Rayner can jog on. Broke the law and how is she back in politics? She clearly can’t read the electorate.
