Mahmood drops plan to make foreign carers wait 15 years for settlement

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has backed away from proposals that would have required foreign care workers to wait 15 years before gaining settlement rights, according to the Evening Standard. The reported U-turn follows internal Cabinet tensions, with figures including Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham among those reportedly pushing back against the plan, which had drawn criticism for its impact on the care sector.
Why now: The climbdown on a controversial immigration policy is a significant political shift and reportedly caused Cabinet divisions.
