Don't change rules for migrants already in UK, Labour MPs tell Mahmood Some 35 Labour MPs are among those who have written to the home secretary to raise concerns about the plans.

The Government must stop listening to dodgy advice! Hear the trade unions, the care workers, the migrant support organisations - LISTEN TO YOUR BASE.
The immigration plans must be scrapped.
