So, from today, refugee status in the UK will be limited to 30 months - and on each review, if it is deemed that their originating country is not longer dangerous, they will be returned.

So, from today, refugee status in the UK will be limited to 30 months - and on each review, if it is deemed that their originating country is not longer dangerous, they will be returned.

Unlike other measures to 'toughen' the refugee regime, this can be enacted merely as a change in existing rules & this requires no parliamentary scrutiny.

If, anyone thinks this will win Labour votes in the local elections, they may well be disappointed!

@ChrisMayLA6 oh it will. But not from real labour supporters.

@ChrisMayLA6 they think it will get them the reform voters. They seem oblivious to how many votes it will lose them. I'm angry I voted Labour last time. Might as well have stuck with tories
