UK | East London | Labour 🌹

Left leaning centrist
Yet, what is the message that the media has pumped out?

Also, while edge cases always exist, the majority of people won’t see other benefits reduced because child benefit increasing

Wages and tax receipts higher than expected.

Good news.

The economy performed better than expected.

The end

Labour’s two budgets have delivered progressive tax and benefit changes that benefit the poorest and children the most.

I’m more than comfortable with that.

Remember a week when lots of people told you UK gilt yields going up meant Rachel Reeves was doing a bad job?

Are those people today telling you that Rachel Reeves is doing a good job?

If not, ignore them!!!

Interested to see the detail of this.

Something lots have, rightly, been calling for

20 years applies to people granted ‘Core Protection’

Most people are expected to be moved off ‘Core Protection’

Also being granted asylum and/or indefinite leave to remain is not the same as becoming a citizen.
November 18, 2025 at 8:42 AM
Again, that’s not how it works
November 18, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Also anyone seeking asylum via the 3 official routes would not have to wait 20 years for permanent settlement either
November 18, 2025 at 7:20 AM
“only accepting applications for permanent settlement after 20 years”

This simply isn’t true.

The proposal expects most people to move off ‘Core Protection’ where the 20 year period applies.
November 18, 2025 at 7:17 AM
This any clearer?
November 17, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Don’t 40% of asylum seekers enter the UK on work/student visas?

This is a very different cohort those you describe above
November 17, 2025 at 10:21 PM
That only applies to people granted ‘Core Protection’

Most asylum seekers are expected to move off ‘Core Protection’

This is what Shabana Mahmood says in her foreword

Universal credit is removed if someone, or their partner, has savings > £16k

Other benefits are reduced/removed too.
November 17, 2025 at 9:47 PM
She isn’t giving that impression.

You are

Are you sure the overwhelming majority can't support themselves?

Nearly 40% of asylum claimants start on work/student visas
November 17, 2025 at 8:50 PM
These are the details… which don’t sound that unreasonable to me
November 17, 2025 at 8:40 PM
That’s not true….
November 17, 2025 at 8:34 PM
Again… isn’t there a bit more nuance to this
November 17, 2025 at 8:30 PM
Aren’t the proposals more nuanced than this?
November 17, 2025 at 8:21 PM
What exactly is wrong with limiting the definition of family to “immediate family”?
