flag UK PM Starmer overhaul asylum rules, ending automatic family reunion and requiring English, work, and taxes for residency.

flag Prime Minister Keir Starmer has introduced sweeping changes to UK asylum rules, ending automatic family reunion for migrants and requiring asylum seekers to learn English, work, pay taxes, and avoid benefits to gain long-term residency. flag The plan, aimed at eliminating what Starmer calls a "golden ticket" to the UK, also includes reviewing how the European Convention on Human Rights is applied, particularly regarding family life and protection from torture. flag While Starmer insists the reforms balance humanitarian duties with border control, human rights groups warn the measures could harm vulnerable people and erode fundamental rights, calling them politically driven rather than substantive.
