UK ILR U-Turn? Badenoch Says Work Visa Holders Shouldn’t Stay Forever

A fresh UK immigration battle has erupted after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said people arriving on temporary work visas should not automatically be allowed to remain in Britain permanently. Badenoch has urged the government not to exempt around two million migrants from the proposed 10-year qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain. She argues that permanent settlement should depend on long-term employment, economic contribution and compliance with UK immigration requirements.
