Shabana Mahmood vows to end UK’s ‘golden ticket’ for asylum seekers

Refugees will be forced to return to their home countries when it is deemed safe to do so as part of sweeping reforms set to be announced by Shabana Mahmood this week.

The Home Secretary has vowed to end Britain’s “golden ticket” for asylum seekers which has seen claims surge in the UK and has drawn people across Europe, through safe countries, onto small boats.

Compared to other countries in Europe with stronger terms, refugee status has often equalled a lifetime in the UK.

After only five years in Britain, refugees can apply for a fee free settlement without having made any contribution to the country.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
