UK plans tougher rules for migrants seeking to stay in country

LONDON: Britain’s home secretary proposed strict new rules for migrants seeking to settle in the UK, as the ruling Labour party bolstered its fight against the hard right at its annual conference. Migrants looking to remain indefinitely will have to have a job, not claim benefits, and undertake volunteer community work under plans designed to claw back support among voters drawn to the anti-immigrant Reform UK party, whose popularity is soaring. Confronting Reform, led by firebrand Nigel Farage, is the main theme of Labour’s four-day gathering in Liverpool, northwest England.
