Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has unveiled her plan to reform the settled status system amid Britain’s migrant crisis.

She said: “I, and so many others like me, are a patriot. Mine is a love of this country: one that is forever changing, while something essential about it always endures.

“It is a patriotism that finds room for those who trace their roots back many generations, and those, like me, who do not.

“But I worry that this broad patriotism is, for some, narrowing and that a vision of a greater Britain is giving way to that of a littler England as anger turns to hate.

“Some will choose to scorn this analysis. They would rather we simply wished it away. But those who look like me do not have that luxury.

“Our lives – and the lives of our families – are more dangerous in a country that turns inwards. So we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division? And how might this country be united?”
