30-50 MPs “threaten” Labour’s working majority of 167…NOT.
There, fixed that for you.

It should be hard to get indefinite leave to remain.
It should take a long time. Surely anyone coming here needs to show their worth to us and show they’re a positive for this country to have?

Pretty much the only Labour policy I have liked since they took office, and these melts have an issue with it.

Good to hear they are considering transitional arrangements to those already here

The reforms aren’t even that bad, and needed to deal with gaps and how immigration has changed over the years. Over 100k asylum claims alone in 2025, something has to be done.

You can’t change long standing public opinion (for decades now) based on one by-election. Things need to change.
NoTitleChamp on
The only thing I disagree with is changing the rules for people already here for years who have followed the rules.

There’s the current system you can compare it to, and you haven’t made any arguments why this one is better

Some years have seen 700k – 900k net migration, accounting for 98% of the population growth.
UK population was 62.8m in 2010 and its now 70m!
It can’t just continue this easily…..

It is hard to get and costs over £3k every 30 months (2.5 years) that you have to wait plus all the increases in minimum salary amount stuff, makes it nearly impossible for anyone not doing a skilled job.
It’s completely unfair to move the goal posts arbitrarily.
For example my wife’s been here 4.5 years and could apply for ILR at the end of this year. We’ve spent over £10k total in visa fees/nhs surcharges and followed all the rules. She works and pays taxes.
Just like how the Labour/Tories f*cked students who wanted to study with tuition fees, this is designed to f*ck people who follow the rules in good faith.
It would be a punishment for thinking you were building a life by working and following rules.
Absolutely disposable!! Who will fill the jobs that will inevitably be left empty when law abiding people who want to stay here leave?!
All this is to appease racists and tax dodgers. Prepare to lose my vote for life Labour, just like the Tories have already lost it…

I don’t think people realise how stressful it is to deal with the HO, the cost, the paperwork, trying your best to hide any accent and the perpetual feeling of “well we don’t want you here”.
I 150% agree immigration reform is needed but I don’t agree thar people who have been in the UK for years are to be punished.
On a sidenote, it is in a way hilarious that at least the EU cannot be blamed for this.

I get some Labour mps are trying to go after votes on the left being taken by the Greens.
But I wish they’d take a minute to look at the polls, there aren’t enough votes on the left to keep reform & the tories out.
Like it or not Labour need to stay centre right even if that means coalition with the greens & Lib Dem’s.

Wow there’s still people with a conscience in Labour? Good. They really need to oust the entireity of blue labour from the party including Mahmood.

It’s like they want to lose the next election, isn’t it.
Making immigration harder and with reduced numbers is popular with the electorate, these MPs need to think about their priorities.
BambooSound on
I’m not particularly against this piece of legislation but I want it to fall because Mahmood’s attached to it.
I’d support anything that accelerated her departure from politics. Those panopticon dreams make her truly evil.

Indefinite leave to remain should be based on tax contributions.
Like it or not, the types of immigrants we want are high tax individuals. We don’t need immigrants coming to be on our benefits when we have plenty of British born people who suck that nipple dry.
People will moan and say yeah but people in the NHS contribute a lot but get paid f all so it’s unfair. Fine. Have a specific note about healthcare of actual critical industries to have a shorter route…which btw the government has done.

Home Sec says they’ll get tough.
Doesn’t.
