Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to end “the golden ticket” of migrants who are granted asylum in the UK getting automatic rights to settle in the country or bring family members with them, as part of the government’s latest immigration crackdown.
The measures, which will see an end to automatic family reunion rights and alter the requirements for long-term settlement in the UK, are aimed at reducing the “pull factors”, which the government says are “driving high levels of illegal migration to the UK”.
