Angela Rayner, the Housing Secretary, criticized Shabana Mahmood’s proposal to make it harder for foreign workers to claim permanent residence in the UK. Rayner argued that changing visa requirements would be disruptive for care sector staff who have moved to the UK to work and support vulnerable individuals. The plan faces opposition from at least 100 Labour MPs and trade unions, with friction expected at the upcoming Labour conference where Andy Burnham will lead as party leader.

Story summary
Andy Burnham, recently appointed as Britain's Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party, pledged to set the UK on a "new course" a decade after the Brexit vote. At the Labour conference in Liverpool, he emphasized the need to draw a line under the last 10 years marked by drift and division, aiming to foster hope for improvement. Burnham said his vision would leave people with renewed confidence that life will get better. He also acknowledged the impact of social issues like child poverty and promised progress on these fronts. Despite challenges, including potential disputes over Israel policy, Labour's feel-good factor has improved significantly since last year. The conference, along with upcoming government initiatives, aims to set out Burnham’s vision for a more stable Britain.
