“Earned” settlement will lock migrant households into years of insecurity and risk hardship for over 1 MILLION people - including 300,000 children.
Incredible work @praxisprojects.bsky.social @citizensuk.org and @rcn.org.uk 👏
The Lords did not hold back when questioning Minister for Migration and Citizenship, Mike Tapp, today 👀
We will continue to work with MPs and the Lords to highlight just how damaging "earned" settlement will be for migrant families, UK communities & public services.

It's good to see this huge drop in skilled visas being taken seriously - 'No hospital is likely to welcome a 93% drop in overseas nurses' !
www.workrightscentre.org/publications...
Our research in @theguardian.com/ Latest Home Office stats show radical drop in nurses, therapists, scientists, educational professionals and skilled tradespeople coming to work in the UK. There are real costs to the government's narrow focus on reducing numbers. Time to change focus.
The government has released further details on the second extension to the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme, adding a 24-month extension on top of the initial 18-month extension.
