The key points in the Home Secretary's asylum reform plans explained
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"What changes is the Government making? Refugee status will become temporary and subject to review every 30 months under a core protection offer. Refugees will be removed as soon as their home countries are deemed safe. The wait for permanent settlement will be quadrupled to 20 years. New safe and legal routes to the UK will be introduced as a way to cut dangerous journeys in small boats across the English Channel."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and chooses not to use paywalls so reporting remains freely accessible. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood unveiled a 33-page strategy titled Restoring Order and Control to reform the UK's asylum system, drawing inspiration from Denmark. Refugee status will be temporary with reviews every 30 months and removals when home countries are deemed safe. The period before permanent settlement will increase to 20 years. New safe and legal resettlement routes will be introduced, and those arriving via work or study routes could gain long-term status after ten years subject to consultation.
