Labour activists have urged new leader Keir Starmer to back the cross-party campaign in favour of European Union citizens already living in the UK to be given a guaranteed ‘right to stay’ after June 2021.
Organised by the Labour Campaign for Free Movement group, a letter to the Labour leader signed by over 700 Labour members warns that many EU citizens will soon have their right to be in the UK revoked.
Under the current government programme, anyone now living in the UK who is an EU citizen must apply to the ‘EU settlement scheme’ before June 30th next year in order to continue legally living in the country.
The scheme has been controversial because it makes people who have lived in the UK for many years, including those married to someone British, jump through hoops to stay, and the process can be complicated.
Opposition parties other than Labour – the SNP, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Greens and the SDLP – joined together last week to call on the government to introduce a ‘right to stay’ that would replace the scheme.
Representatives of those parties wrote to the Prime Minister urging him to protect the rights of over three million European citizens and arguing that flaws in the scheme have been exacerbated by coronavirus.
The SNP’s Ian Blackford warned that without change “many people risk falling through the cracks”, while the Greens’ Caroline Lucas said that allowing any EU citizen living in the UK to lose their right to stay “should fill us with shame”.
Alena Ivanova, a Labour activist and Another Europe is Possible organiser, said: “While the Home Office paints a rosy picture of the success of the Settlement scheme, there are still millions at risk of losing their rights in the coming years.
“A system that asks you to apply to stay in your home – in some cases twice – is not what European nationals were promised. Even if we assume that 98% or 99% of them apply successfully, that would still mean tens of thousands of people facing deportation from the place they have made their home.
“Since coronavirus struck, we have had a plethora of reports of new issues which simply cannot be overcome in time – from a lack of awareness and support in the application process to periods of absence from the UK during the crisis. It’s time for the Home Office to re-assess the scheme and grant automatic status to all.”
Hundreds of Labour members have now told Starmer: “We are therefore disappointed that Labour has not yet signed up to support an automatic right to stay for EU citizens currently living in the UK. As Labour members and supporters, we call on you to make a public commitment to supporting this as soon as possible.”
Below is the letter and full list of signatories.
Dear Keir,
As it stands, many EU citizens who have made their home in this country will lose their status from June 2021. Without a guaranteed right to stay, millions of people are being forced to go through an application process which could turn them down. Even assuming a 99% application rate and success rate, tens of thousands of the more than three million European citizens living in the UK will become illegal. And many of those receiving status are being granted pre-settled status, which is not permanent.
Coronavirus has compounded the situation, with both the application process and support measures disrupted. The government has not even stated clearly that absences during the crisis will not count against applicants. Boris Johnson has stood on the steps of Number 10 applauding nurses, carers, shop assistants and agricultural workers whom his government has every intention of stripping of their status.
On Sunday 6th September, representatives of five opposition parties came together to sign an open letter calling on the government to replace the Settled Status application process with a guaranteed ‘right to stay’ written into primary legislation. In your leadership campaign, you promised not only to stand up for the rights of EU citizens living here already, but to support continued free movement and enhanced rights for migrants after Brexit.
We are therefore disappointed that Labour has not yet signed up to support an automatic right to stay for EU citizens currently living in the UK. As Labour members and supporters, we call on you to make a public commitment to supporting this as soon as possible.
