The hostility of the Labour party to migrants steps up with Shabana Mahmood's proposal to double the time to gain settled status would double (to 20 years) if migrants have been in receipt of public funds... this is pretty grim stuff, but even more un-just would be the inclusion of in-work benefits which are in effect not to benefits for migrants but (as I have pointed out often) a subsidy to low-wage employers' profits.
This move is a disgrace!
