Reform UK Proposes Stricter UK Residency Rules, Revising 'Boriswave'

Reform UK Proposes Stricter UK Residency Rules, Revising 'Boriswave'

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, wants to change immigration rules.

They're concerned about a surge in migrants, called the 'Boriswave.'

They propose ending the current permanent residency status and using a five-year visa that can be renewed.

This impacts the ability to live and work in the UK long-term.

The plan is to reduce the cost of benefits for migrants.

Farage says this would save money, but others dispute these numbers.

Labour is also considering increased waiting periods for residency applications.
