Tuesday briefing: Britain is moving the goalposts for its migrant workers

In today’s newsletter: Shabana Mahmood softened rules for care workers after an outcry, but thousands of other migrant workers face an uncertain future Good morning. “Settlement should not be automatic, it should be earned,” home secretary Shabana Mahmood told the Commons yesterday as she unveiled a radical shake-up of the rules governing how long foreign workers and refugees have to wait before they are granted the right to live in the UK indefinitely. What Mahmood insisted was a “fair solution” that would cut welfare spending by billions had been characterised as the first serious test of whether Andy Burnham could keep the left of the Labour party in line, after the original plans were met with outrage from backbenchers, migrants rights groups and unions. Commonwealth summit | Andy Burnham will ask countries affected by Britain’s role in slavery to help shape an expected formal apology , Downing Street has indicated, arguing that their input is indispensable in crafting an enduring message. Defence | British troops and their European allies would be allowed to fire back if attacked by Russians when potentially stationed as peacekeepers in Ukraine after a ceasefire, western officials said. Iran | The ⁠US launched limited strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island late on Monday , ⁠according to reports in US media, hours after US vice-president JD Vance said he was optimistic diplomatic efforts to end the war were moving in the right direction. Sweden | Supermarket chains in at least seven European countries have said the temperatures of refrigerators and freezers in some of their shops soared overnight to as high as 50C, echoing a cyber-attack last month that caused millions of euros of damage in France.

UK to double wait for permanent residency, with exemptions for care workers

Al Jazeera investigation exposes paramilitary hitman linked to Turning Point UK The United Kingdom has revised its immigration rules, doubling the time most foreign workers must wait to qualify for permanent residency to 10 years and making refugees who arrive on “small boats” wait as long as 30 years. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, speaking in Parliament on Monday, said hundreds of thousands of care workers will be exempt from the hardline rules, offering a concession amid a political outcry within the governing Labour Party. Permanent residency, known in the UK as indefinite leave to remain, carries the right to work, study, use the free National Health Service and claim welfare benefits. Until now, it has been granted after five years. The new rules, set to take effect next year, tie eligibility for permanent residency to income. People who earn more than 50,000 pounds a year ($67,000) will still be able to apply after five years, and those earning more than 125,000 pounds ($167,500) after three. Everyone else will be placed on the 10-year path. The median salary in the UK is about 39,000 pounds (roughly $52,000). The changes, announced after a 12-week public consultation that drew more than 200,000 responses, are part of a broader effort to tighten immigration rules after arrivals surged following Brexit. Reform UK has sought to depict the arrivals of refugees on small boats across the English Channel as a crisis, and anti-immigration activists have staged protests, including outside facilities that house asylum seekers.
