Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Reform UK Vows To Scrap Indefinite Leave To Remain For Migrants
Caption: Reform UK Vows To Scrap Indefinite Leave To Remain For Migrants. Reform UK has pledged to abolish indefinite leave to remain if it wins the next election, forcing migrants to reapply for visas every five years under tougher rules. The party says it would also bar anyone but British citizens from accessing welfare, claiming the changes would save £234 billion over several decades. Current rules allow migrants to settle permanently after five years, giving them rights to work, study and claim benefits. Leader Nigel Farage argued the UK should not be “the world’s food bank,” saying welfare should not be offered to those arriving from abroad. Labour’s Chancellor Rachel Reeves dismissed Reform’s savings claim as having “no basis in reality,” pointing out the government is already consulting on extending the wait for settlement to 10 years. The announcement marks a new push from Reform, targeting the 3.8 million people who arrived under looser post-Brexit rules, introduced by Boris Johnson.
