Fatti verificati

  1. Confermata Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood scrapped plans to make foreign care workers already in the UK wait 15 years to qualify for permanent settlement.

    IA Multiple results report that Mahmood dropped the proposed 15-year settlement wait for care workers and replaced it with a conditional five-year route, announced in the Commons on 2 November. The results do not specifically address whether the change covered only care workers already in the UK, so that detail is unchecked. Some outlets describe the change as a softening or watering down rather than a full scrapping, but the LBC and Business Insider reports say it was scrapped.

  2. Confermata Mahmood proposed doubling the wait for indefinite leave to remain from five years to 10 years for most migrants, with some facing a 15-year wait.

    IA Several results state that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood proposed raising the standard indefinite leave to remain qualifying period from five to 10 years for most migrants, which matches the core of the claim. The 15-year wait for some migrants is not visible in the provided snippets, so that detail could not be checked.

  3. Confermata Care workers who earn at least £25,000 a year and arrived in the UK before May 2025 will continue to qualify for settlement after five years under the revised policy.

    IA Several results state that care workers earning at least £25,000 a year who arrived before May 2025 can still settle after five years under the revised plan. The GOV.UK pages (the Home Secretary's statement and news release) are primary sources and support this, while the AA, ABC, Business Insider and Personnel Today reports repeat the same announcement. The results do not mention any additional conditions beyond those in the claim, though some list other requirements such as English proficiency and a clean record.

  4. Confermata Mahmood announced plans last November to delay settlements, in response to concerns over the number of people approaching eligibility.

    IA The gov.uk record shows Shabana Mahmood's statement on settlement reform was published on 20 November 2025. The Independent and Sky News both report that the proposals to lengthen the settlement qualifying period were first announced in November 2025, and Davidson Morris says the government raised concerns about the number of people expected to become eligible. The gov.uk snippet is truncated, so the stated reason for the delay is confirmed only through the secondary sources.

  5. Confermata The Home Office estimates that between 1.3 million and 2.2 million people will settle in the UK between 2026 and 2030, with a central estimate of 1.9 million.

    IA The Home Office government consultation response (result [1]) explicitly states that it still estimates 1.3 million to 2.2 million people will settle in the UK between 2026 and 2030, with a central estimate of 1.9 million, matching the claim's core figures and dates. The other results do not address these numbers, and the supporting evidence comes from a single primary government document.

  6. Confermata There were 727,487 visa entries to the UK from July 2025 to June 2026, down 15% on the same period the previous year.

    IA Result [1], a blog that cites Home Office immigration statistics for the year ending June 2026, reports 727,487 non-visitor, non-transit visas granted, 15% fewer than the previous year. This matches the claim's number, period and decline. The source says "grants" rather than "entries", and it is a secondary blog rather than the Home Office release itself. The other results contain the figure 727,487 only as unrelated numbers in financial tables. The claim's wording does not mention that visit and transit visas are excluded, which the source does state.

  1. Non verificata Home Office figures show net migration added 2.6 million people to the UK population between 2021 and 2024.

    IA The only relevant result gives 2.56 million as the net migration added during 'that period' under new estimates, which rounds to 2.6 million, but it does not clearly cover 2021 to 2024 or name the Home Office as the source (the new estimates are not attributed to the Home Office). The other results do not address the claim.

  2. Non verificata The original plans would have delayed 799,000 people from gaining permanent residency, and the updated plans reduce this number to 517,000.

    IA None of the search results discuss permanent residency, delays for applicants, or the original and updated plan figures of 799,000 and 517,000. The only matches for 799,000 are an unrelated currency translation figure in a Saudi prospectus and a Muslim population projection in a Pew report, so the claim's core cannot be checked.
