@theipaper: Shabana Mahmood has announced that migrants who arrive in the UK after crossing the English Channel on boats will need to wait 30 years before being granted settlement status in the UK. The Home Secretary said "we will discourage the use of unsafe and illegal routes. The standard qualifying period for all refugees who have not come by a safe and legal route will become 20 years". She added that "a further 10 years will be added for those who enter the country by an illegal method, such as by small boat". Read more on our liveblog.
