The Conservative Opposition had a May 2025 bill for sweeping deportations of people with permanent status. They dropped _ withdrew that in October 2025, when it was noticed, saying they opposed retrospective changes to ILR. They now propose retrospective changes to ILR+this

pre-2012, entering the UK as a spouse was 2 years to ILR and then (usually) citizenship application after ILR grant. then it was extended out to rolling 30 month visas, with renewals and then ILR at 5 (or 10) years. now it's just...potentially endless renewals till you give up or ukgov does
when we were reapplying for my wife’s spousal visa my confused parents were like “didn’t she already get citizenship?” and I burst out laughing in their face. CITIZENSHIP AFTER 2.5 YEARS???
The average British person would be radicalised if they were forced to endure the rampant rent-seeking of the (outsourced to within an inch of its life) British immigration system.

This Conservative amendment certainly bans Afghan interpreters, teachers and others given sanctuary under the last government's resettlement schemes + any Syrians resettled who did not get ILR yet

at first glance, it's very noticeable that a "relevant person" (alongside other omissions) doesn't include spouses here on a partner visa of people who already have ILR
This Conservative amendment would
- set a minimum 10 year period to ILR for any category (!)
- ban all grants of ILR until the 10 year minimum is in place
- ban all grants of settlement, forever, for any category not listed. That would bar all refugees (including on resettlement programmes )
- set a minimum 10 year period to ILR for any category (!)

The centre-left is having a bad time with the Overton window since 2022-2024-2026 on remigration + racism, despite having opportunities to challenge this auction from broadly popular ground
The Cons Autumn 2025 retreat on retrospective ILR came mainly from media & civic pressure.

⭐️ UPDATE: Carlton was granted ILR outside of the Immigration Rules! We are so happy and relieved for him.

On 14 October 2026 we secured an important legal victory for a particularly vulnerable client, Carlton, in a win that also further chips away at the Home Secretary’s policies on long routes to settlement.

as a final kick in the teeth, the *narrowing* of the criteria for who can be a referee from ILR to citizenship is just one more way ukgov will happily try and prevent a naturalisation before it's even got started. abolish the home office and send them all to the moon

Under current rules, children do qualify for ILR - if they are born here + live here for the first 7 years of their life, or have spent more than half their life here when they are 18-24
This amendment would ban all that. [Another amendment would disapply the human rights act to enable this ban]
