Did you know that thousands of migrants are being forced to wait over ten years until they can permanently settle in the UK? And if this Government has their way, over a million more people will be trapped in this decade-long wait.

The system that we all rely on to prove our immigration status in the UK...is down right now.
There is no alternative, no physical back-up, so no way of showing your employer, your landlord, or anyone else that you have the right to live here.

Comment @the3million.bsky.social: UK immigration changes announced today will only sow more division and erode people’s rights. "We also need more information on whether EU citizens with rights under the WA will only be able to apply for British citizenship after 10 years of residence."
We believe the UK is an island of welcoming communities. As migrants, we are family, friends and neighbours.
We all agree the immigration system is broken, but immigration changes announced today will only sow more division and erode people’s rights.
