Earned settlement consultation closes today. If you haven't completed it already please do, and tell this government that migrants should not be treated as second class and magic money trees.
These proposals will destroy lives, and push more people into poverty. Make your voice heard and oppose them

🚨Earned settlement consultation ends Thursday🚨
Proposed changes risk pushing hundreds of thousands of children into poverty and destroying lives.
We have created guidance on how to tell the government we need a genuinely fairer system.

Just wrote to my MP to urge him to attend your event at Portcullis House on the 23rd! The proposals are appalling and short sighted. The UK NEEDS lots of young folks ready to take up the mantle of citizenship and keep this place thriving. £12k+ in fees and a decade to get close to secure status?!!!

Labour's recent proposals on 'Earned Settlement' would turn back the clock, throwing young people whose lives and futures are in the UK back into uncertainty; and come against a backdrop of unpredictable and ever-increasing Home Office fees. Learn more👇
