The UK Home Secretary is announcing new conditions for migrants seeking indefinite leave to remain. Applicants will need to demonstrate societal contribution, including learning English, having a clean criminal record, and volunteering. Labour aims to differentiate itself from Reform UK's stance on immigration by proposing a longer 10-year residency period for settlement, contrasting with Reform UK's calls to abolish the status entirely. The policy emphasizes integration and contribution to the UK.
