Shabana Mahmood has warned Labour MPs that “dark forces are stirring up anger” over migration, amid growing alarm among senior party figures over the most sweeping overhaul of refugee rights in a generation.
On Monday, Mahmood will announce controversial new laws to overhaul refugee status, which must be reassessed every two years, as well as curbing asylum appeals and toughening the approach to rights to family life.
The home secretary warned in an article for the Guardian that anger about illegal migration could turn on second-generation immigrants such as her and rupture community relations.
“I know that a country without secure borders is a less safe country for those who look like me,” she said.
Unsurprisingly, other Labour Party MPs are prepared to risk "dark forces" coming to power to stop the Pakistani rape gangs. Certainly Labour does not care enough.
