UK to reopen door to Afghan women and Palestinian refugees
Shabana Mahmood will reopen the UK Resettlement Scheme in her Labour conference speech on Monday, prioritising Afghan women and girls and Palestinians. The scheme, effectively frozen for two years, is expected to reach the low thousands under an annual cap and offers a faster path to settlement. Nigel Farage attacked the plan, and experts say it is too small to deter Channel crossings.
