16.11.2025 โข The Day Asylum Seekers Lost Their Benefits
โจUK media opened the day reporting on Labour's proposed immigration overhaul, including ending benefits for asylum seekers and implementing Denmark-based reforms. Reports also emerged of internal Labour party dynamics, with some MPs jockeying to unseat Starmer. By late morning, the Home Secretary confirmed plans to end "golden ticket" asylum support and tackle a "broken" system. The feud between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene also continued to be discussed ahead of an Epstein files vote.
In the afternoon, a Labour MP called for Prime Minister Starmer to step down amidst protests against asylum seeker plans. This was followed by reports of federal agents launching an immigration crackdown in Charlotte, US. In the evening, the Home Secretary vowed to transform the UK's asylum system, with reports suggesting refugees could face a 20-year wait to settle permanently under new reforms. The day closed with further announcements of major changes to the UK immigration system, threatening countries that do not take back migrants with visa bans.
