Petition

Conduct a leadership review of Labour due to retrospective ILR rule.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge the government to pressure the Labour Party to conduct a formal leadership review and reconsider the retrospective 10-year ILR policy. This is essential to restore trust among refugees, migrants, and the public, and to ensure fair and humane immigration policies.
The retrospective 10-year ILR policy has caused widespread loss of trust in the Labour Party, especially among refugees, migrants, and their communities. This policy undermines the promise of a fair and timely route to settlement and damages Labour’s credibility. A leadership review is necessary to hold the party accountable, restore public confidence, and ensure immigration policies reflect compassion and justice.
