Labour MPs have moderated their criticism of proposed immigration changes, following earlier objections from Angela Rayner, who said the plans were “un-British”.
Rayner had also warned ministers against shifting “the goalposts”, signalling opposition to changes that altered the position previously set out by the government.
The latest response from Labour MPs is described as more cautious, with criticism being expressed less forcefully than Rayner’s earlier remarks. The supplied material does not provide further details about the immigration measures, the timetable for any changes or the government’s response.
The position leaves the focus on how Labour MPs will respond as the immigration proposals develop and whether ministers provide further clarification.
