‘Safety, security and control’ | Shabana Mahmood to WATER DOWN indefinite leave to remain reforms
Shabana Mahmood has suggested she will water down indefinite leave to remain reforms amid her ongoing row with Angela Rayner.
After the Home Secretary announced a sweeping set of reforms to make it harder to acquire ILR, she faced furious backlash from her own party - spearheaded by Ms Rayner.
Today, Ms Mahmood has appeared to buckle to growing demand within her party to ease up on the application of the asylum crackdown.
She said: "I know that, throughout our consultation process, some have said elements of these reforms are not fair.
"To that, let me say this. We will come to a position that balances fairness for those who came here legally, and fairness to British citizens across this country".
