Angela Rayner Criticises Mahmood's Migrant Visa Overhaul Before Labour Conference
Rayner said the plans would make settlement harder for foreign workers and could leave health and care staff waiting 15 years.
- Housing Secretary Angela Rayner criticized Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's proposed visa overhaul, warning it would "change the goalposts" ahead of Labour's conference on Sunday in Merseyside.
- Under the proposed reforms, the timeline for permanent residency increases from five years to 10 years for most migrants, while foreign social care workers face a 15-year wait.
- Rayner previously called the measures "wrong" and argued the changes impact care workers who "moved their lives here to look after our loved ones."
- Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy defended the Home Secretary, rejecting the "un-British" characterization and arguing the government must "balance the respect and gratitude" contributors deserve with public confidence.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham previously suggested Labour "would do well to listen" to Rayner's concerns, as the government plans to finalize the new settlement policy later this year.
