UK HOME SECRETARY EYES DANISH-STYLE CRACKDOWN: TIGHTER FAMILY REUNIONS, TEMP ASYLUM, FASTER REMOVALS

The BBC reports Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is preparing a major immigration overhaul inspired by Denmark’s stricter model. Measures under review include tighter family reunion rules, temporary status for most refugees, tougher age/language/income thresholds, and steps to accelerate removals. The move aims to reduce pull factors and ease expulsions, with ECHR implications and divisions inside Labour over how far to go. Formal proposals are expected later this month.
