Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Rayner Opposes Visa Rule Changes For Existing Care Workers
Caption: Rayner Opposes Visa Rule Changes For Existing Care Workers. Former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has criticised proposals to change settlement rules for migrant care workers already living in the UK. Rayner said it would be “the wrong thing to do” and described retrospective changes as “un-British”. Under current rules, many migrant workers can apply for permanent settlement after five years, but the government is considering extending that period. Rayner argued that people who have followed the rules and built lives in Britain should not face new requirements after arriving. She said controlling immigration is different from changing the terms for workers who are already contributing to society. The government has confirmed plans to double the standard route to settlement from five years to ten, although a decision on how the changes will affect existing migrants has not yet been made.
