Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood could throw Keir Starmer’s government into fresh turmoil by resigning if the Prime Minister blocks her tough immigration reforms. Number 10 has signalled a potential u-turn over the changes, following opposition from Labour backbenchers led by Angela Rayner, the former Deputy Prime Minister.
But Ms Mahmood is determined to press ahead with measures making it harder for migrants to claim indefinite leave to remain, also known as settlement, which makes them eligible for benefits and social housing. The Home Secretary is said to have told the Prime Minister: “If I can’t do my job, I won’t do my job.”
And she threatened to resign “if there was any meddling” with her reforms, the Mail on Sunday reports. The claim has been denied by Number 10 and the Home Office.
Allies of the Home Secretary have also warned that the UK’s welfare and housing system will come under huge strain unless the changes go ahead.
A Home Office source told the Sun on Sunday: “We’ve got up to 1.6 million people on track to settle by 2030, and welfare and housing are already under serious strain, as every constituency MP knows from their inbox.

The Starmer government is a left wing sell out to Islam.
Pure and simple. And it mirrors the evil plans of our own democrat communists.
“Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood” - that name sounds very muzzoidy...and she wants tougher immigrant laws?

Britain will follow the decline of Sweden.......
Its why Britain’s citizens have been disarmed.
A sad state of affairs:

Mediocre Britain is now Pakiland
The UK is beyond redemption when they put a Muslim, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, in charge of the Muslim invasion of the UK.
Britain has fallen! Their Quisling police, politicians, and courts are actually Cultural Marxists who knowingly or unknowingly work for the long term goal of betraying its indigenous people and remaking Britain from the ground up in their own image.
Perhaps their greatest betrayal is their turning a blind eye for years to Muslim rape gangs who preyed on preteen white British girls for fear of being labeled “Islamophobic.
Some horrific details of what they did to these young girls is revealed in these British court transcripts at this link. Scroll down to items 50-54 for just a sample.
Will try again.
Link to British court transcripts.
Kabuki theater. Obfuscation to steal Restore Britain’s thunder.
Puzzling, since she—a presumed muslim— wants to make it more difficult for immigrants to stay and collect welfare.
What’s the back story here ?
Demonstrating that islam controls policy in Britain now.

No, the name “Uncle Lonnie” is not a repeated or recurring figure in Southern lore, folklore, tall tales, or traditional stories—particularly in Texas (TX) or Oklahoma (OK). It appears to be unique to Ray Wylie Hubbard’s songwriting.
Ray Wylie Hubbard, the Texas-based singer-songwriter known for his outlaw country and Americana style, features “Uncle Lonnie” as a character in his song “Count My Blessings” (from the 2012 album The Grifter’s Hymnal). In the lyrics, Uncle Lonnie appears in an alley to teach the young narrator about three-card monte (a classic con game)
no doubt her “tough immigration reforms” are the kind we would get from the Democrats.
Not all Muslims in the UK want open borders. There is a significant minority of immigrants who came to the UK in the 1970s and 1980s before Blair opened the borders who aspired to Britishness and probably are as patriotic if not more patriotic than native British. And they are unapologetic about it. Think of Suella Braverman or Zia Yusuf.
First generation immigrants tend to be hardworking. But second or third generation tend to be radicalized.
In the Middle East, mosques are under surveillance. From what I understand, that's not done in a Western country.
I figure at least SOME of them came to the UK to get away from the freak show, and are not happy at all to have the crazy follow them over. I had Latino students in L.A. who wanted the borders closed completely, and anyone illegal kicked out. I mean, it was only about 25% of them, but still more than I expected.
This ShaBanana Manhood is Tough on immigration is nothing but a Not-so-Clever RUSE.
She threatens to quit on the grounds she is being told not to be so hard, Starmer will Beg her to stay and she “agrees” to be more flexible thus allowing more immigrants and even less deportations.
Agenda achieved. Britain sinks ever lower into the mire of Islam. Payoffs from the Brotherhood continue unabated into the right Swiss accts.
They think no one will notice their “plan”.
