Labour U-turns on immigration crackdown: Home Secretary retreats in face of Angela Rayner-led Left-wing revolt and exempts 300,000 foreign care workers
Full story
The Home Secretary has reversed previous plans regarding an immigration crackdown. These changes follow a revolt led by Angela Rayner and the left wing of the party. Under the new measures, 300,000 foreign care workers are now exempt. The original plans were published one year ago. They would have required foreign workers to wait longer to qualify for settlement in Britain.
New measures marked a major U-turn on outline plans - first published a year ago - to make foreign workers wait much longer to qualify for settlement to live in Britain.
