U.K. proposes stricter asylum rules, facing criticism

Britain's Labour government has proposed stricter asylum rules, drawing criticism for potentially adopting a hard-right stance. The new rules would make asylum status temporary, require refugees to contribute to costs, and extend the path to permanent residency significantly. Critics accuse the government of "performative cruelty" and scapegoating migrants, while supporters point to Denmark's similar policies as a model for reducing asylum claims.
