Keir Starmer must step out of Reform’s shadow to tackle racism and xenophobia
We must demand an end to these shifting political norms. When Nigel Farage stood before the press last month, he brandished a few pages carrying his proposal to scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain.
These plans are nothing short of chilling and a threat to the futures of hundreds of thousands of people. Stripping away one of the most fundamental and hard-earned routes to permanent settlement in the UK is as cruel as it is legally incoherent.
It risks violating basic human rights, including the right to family life and protections from non-discrimination. Worse still, it also puts conditionality on people who have settled, built lives and communities here, recasting them as guests in their own home.
The human cost of this would be palpable – people forced to reconsider everything overnight – facing the potential reality of families split apart and livelihoods destroyed.
