Angela Rayner called for migrant benefits to be slashed and urged Rachel Reeves to make changes, it has been reported, after the Deputy PM challenged the Chancellor's economic approach.
Bold proposals, outlined in a leaked memo revealed by The Telegraph, also suggested making it harder for immigrants to receive Universal credit.
Ms Rayner even said Labour should raise the fee migrants pay to use the NHS, in policies she and her team claimed were 'contentious' but still 'worthy of consideration'.
Under current policies, introduced under the Tories in 2015, foreigners on work visas pay to access healthcare - a fee currently set at £1,035.
The 'radical' policies further included limiting access to the state pension.
