I just filled out the UK Government's consultation on the proposed changes to settlement status (immigration). If you live in the UK, I encourage you to do the same. Be warned: there is a lot of double-speak in this consultation. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/earned-settlement

Earned settlement

The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

For avoidance of doubt : I made it clear through my response that the UK should be making it *easier*, not more difficult, to achieve settled status, and that income-based measures for determining whether someone is worthy are regressive and classist.
