@skynews: The government wants to double the time it takes for most migrants to qualify for permanent residence from five to 10 years. It comes after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the 'unprecedented' number of people arriving in the UK demanded an answer from the government. But are some of the Labour ministers against the proposal? Sky's Serena Barker-Singh explores. #politics #Labour #skynews
15 years??! But still paying tax during those 15 years

They should only qualify if they’ve been productive and paid taxes

Basically, those who are opposing this are saying that if you work five years in a minimum wage job, after that, you can live on state benefits for the rest of your life at our expense.

Random Thoughts 🇺🇬🇬🇧 :
can't an energy minister say "that's not my docket and I do not have to answer for another minister" Why is she allowing to be cornered into saying things that may make her resign in future?

Please understand that legal migrants pay heavily to qualify for ILR after 5 years, including visa fees, IHS, National Insurance and taxes. ILR is not free/cheap, and the journey is already difficult enough. Some migrants cannot even bring their dependants, yet they work hard, some care for the elderly and vulnerable. Their sacrifices deserve recognition and fairness. Retroactive change is not fair! Keep to your commitment! @Andy Burnham
