The Home Secretary announced significant reforms to the UK's asylum system on Monday, describing it as "out of control and unfair." The new measures aim to deter illegal migration and include temporary refugee status with reviews every 30 months. Shabana Mahmood said: "To maintain the generosity that allows us to provide sanctuary, we must restore order and control." However, critics, including Labour MPs, argued the proposals could exacerbate division and racism in communities. But Mahmood hit back saying Britain is being "torn apart" by illegal immigration, with the "pace and scale of change" leaving communities destabilised. An editorial in the Guardian laments the shift in policy, urging Labour not to copy Reform UK's "cruelty" on asylum. Labour MPs were also left horrified after right-wing activist Tommy Robinson welcomed the plans. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch backed the Home Secretary’s new position and said the Tories would support a vote if needed. However, the Tory leader said she doubted the plans would work without leaving the ECHR. She added that the measures would not remove the pull factor for migrants, stating that anybody who comes to the UK illegally should be deported.
