@theipaper: The Home Secretary has highlighted that settlement in the UK “should not be automatic", stating that they “should be earned”. During a speech laying out new settlement policy today in Parliament, Shabana Mahmood said "I believe these considerable rights should come after responsibilities have been met and a contribution has been made".

True fairness? How the power love ❤️Why should a husband and wife spend 10 years on edge wondering if there partner will one day be told to go home after working hard and paying our taxes? It's costing me £15k for a visa for my partners visa over 5 years, £5k of that is NHS surcharge regardless of us both paying full NHS contributions through PAYE. Fairness???
