Prime Minister Keir Starmer is considering exemptions to his government's immigration policy changes that would extend the settled status qualification period from five to ten years, following backlash from Labour MPs and former deputy Angela Rayner who called the plans "un-British." Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced the proposals earlier this month as part of broader measures to limit immigration, including making refugee status temporary and doubling the qualification period for indefinite leave to remain.
